AWS Wickr gives teams a place to talk and meet on Windows. Colleagues can use it for individual chats, group discussions, voice and video calls, and sending files. It also allows conversations with contacts outside an organization’s network, which can help teams work with external partners.

Teams can keep chats, calls, and shared files in one app while choosing when messages disappear.

Encryption covers messages and calls from sender to recipient. Administrators can manage accounts, communication settings, and data retention through an online console. Users can choose when messages expire, present their screens during calls, and send their location. The app also supports single sign-on and workflow automation through bots and software interfaces.

Features:

  • Start one-to-one and group chats
  • Hold group voice and video calls
  • Present your screen during a call
  • Send files of up to 5 GB
  • Set timers that remove messages
  • Manage accounts through an admin console
Windows 10 or later
