Creating elastic channels for Amazon Chime SDK meetings

You use the ElasticChannelConfiguration field in the CreateChannel API to create an elastic channel. Once you create an elastic channel, you create channel memberships.

Note

  • For non-elastic channels, the AppInstanceUser that creates the channel is automatically added to that channel as a member and moderator. For elastic channels, the channel creator is only added as a moderator.

  • You can't update an ElasticChannelConfiguration once set.

  • You can't update a channel from elastic to non-elastic and vice-versa.

  • You can't include a list of member ARNs in a CreateChannel API request. However, you can include a list of moderator ARNs.

  • You can't create an UNRESTRICTED type elastic channel.
