The Global Alternative to KakaoTalk
Connect Korean diaspora, international teams and South Korean contacts — with browser-based HD group video, professional meeting tools and UK data storage. No app required.
Why KakaoTalk Users Choose Chavid
A globally accessible platform for Korean diaspora and international teams connecting with South Korea.
Global by design
KakaoTalk is built for South Korea. Chavid is built for the world — accessible in any browser, in any country, without regional limitations.
HD group video
Host professional HD group calls with up to 100 participants — with screen sharing, waiting rooms and recording that KakaoTalk doesn't offer.
No download for guests
Share a link and anyone joins from their browser — no KakaoTalk account, no app installation required for international contacts.
UK data storage
Your data stays in the UK, governed by UK GDPR — not in South Korea where KakaoTalk stores its data.
GDPR compliant
Designed around UK and European data protection law — essential for Korean diaspora businesses operating in the UK and EU.
Professional meetings
Run proper business meetings with screen sharing, breakout rooms and call recording — tools KakaoTalk simply doesn't have.
Persistent messaging
Keep group conversations, threads and pinned messages organised — structured messaging that works for teams across time zones.
