See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Synopsis

  create-attendee
--meeting-id <value>
--external-user-id <value>
[--capabilities <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options

--meeting-id (string)

The unique ID of the meeting.

--external-user-id (string)

The Amazon Chime SDK external user ID. An idempotency token. Links the attendee to an identity managed by a builder application.

--capabilities (structure)

The capabilities (audio , video , or content ) that you want to grant an attendee. If you don’t specify capabilities, all users have send and receive capabilities on all media channels by default.

Note

You use the capabilities with a set of values that control what the capabilities can do, such as SendReceive data. For more information about those values, see .

When using capabilities, be aware of these corner cases:

• You can’t set content capabilities to SendReceive or Receive unless you also set video capabilities to SendReceive or Receive . If you don’t set the video capability to receive, the response will contain an HTTP 400 Bad Request status code. However, you can set your video capability to receive and you set your content capability to not receive.

• When you change an audio capability from None or Receive to Send or SendReceive , and if the attendee left their microphone unmuted, audio will flow from the attendee to the other meeting participants.

• When you change a video or content capability from None or Receive to Send or SendReceive , and if the attendee turned on their video or content streams, remote attendess can receive those streams, but only after media renegotiation between the client and the Amazon Chime back-end server.

Audio -> (string)

The audio capability assigned to an attendee.

Video -> (string)

The video capability assigned to an attendee.

Content -> (string)

The content capability assigned to an attendee.

Shorthand Syntax:

Audio=string,Video=string,Content=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "Audio": "SendReceive"|"Send"|"Receive"|"None",
  "Video": "SendReceive"|"Send"|"Receive"|"None",
  "Content": "SendReceive"|"Send"|"Receive"|"None"
}

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.
