The Global Alternative to KakaoTalk — Chavid

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.
