I wanted to build Video, audio calling and chat feature in my website and need some Communication SDK. So thought of using Azure Communication Services i.e ACS but it is not available for India and has data location as Asia Pacific so tried an alternative Amazon Chime SDK but now I can see that it has media region as Mumbai but I am not able to use it. So can anyone suggest some alternative what I can use? Or confirm if Amazon Chime SDK is available or not for Indians.

To confirm if Amazon Chime SDK is available or not for Indians.
how about you use this which is recommended by amazon docs too.
Call https://nearest-media-region.l.chime.aws to identify the nearest media Region that can host your Amazon Chime SDK meeting. Make the call from the client application, not the server application.
Your request returns a JSON object showing the AWS Region that is nearest to you.
async getNearestMediaRegion(): Promise<string> {
var nearestMediaRegion = '';
const defaultMediaRegion = 'us-east-1';
try {
const nearestMediaRegionResponse = await fetch(
`https://nearest-media-region.l.chime.aws`,
{
method: 'GET',
}
);
const nearestMediaRegionJSON = await nearestMediaRegionResponse.json();
this.log(nearestMediaRegionJSON.region);
nearestMediaRegion = nearestMediaRegionJSON.region;
} catch (error) {
nearestMediaRegion = defaultMediaRegion;
this.log('Default media region ' + defaultMediaRegion + ' selected: ' + error.message);
} finally {
return nearestMediaRegion;
}
}
if the response returns ap-south-1 which is for the Mumbai region then definitely you can use it for India.
So can anyone suggest some alternative what I can use?
try this. Getting started tutorial for chime-sdk by aws,and their repo
Mumbai(ap-south-1) is supported to host Chime SDK meeting. Refer to the region doc: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/chime/latest/dg/chime-sdk-meetings-regions.html
