A Better Alternative to Viber
Upgrade from Viber to HD group video calls, persistent message threads and UK data storage — with no downloads and no time limits. Popular with Eastern European, Middle Eastern and Filipino communities.
Why Viber Users Choose Chavid
A more capable platform for communities across Eastern Europe, the Middle East and the Philippines.
HD group video quality
Viber's video quality is inconsistent and group calls are limited. Chavid delivers crystal-clear HD video for up to 100 participants with no time limits.
Persistent message threads
Viber chats are basic and hard to navigate. Chavid has structured threads, pinned messages and reactions — conversations that stay organised.
No download for guests
Share a link and anyone joins from their browser — no Viber app, no account required. Perfect for international contacts who don't use Viber.
UK data storage
Viber is owned by Rakuten and stores data in Luxembourg and Japan. Chavid keeps everything in the UK, governed by UK GDPR.
Professional meeting tools
Screen sharing, waiting rooms, call recording and breakout rooms — professional features Viber doesn't offer for business use.
GDPR compliant
Designed around UK and European data protection law — a compliant choice for Eastern European businesses operating in the UK and EU.
No time limits
Chavid never cuts your calls short. Run a 5-minute check-in or a 3-hour team session — no restrictions on call length.
