The Global Alternative to Line
Connect across Japan, Thailand, Taiwan and the world — with browser-based HD group video, professional meeting tools and UK data storage. No app required.
Why Line Users Choose Chavid
A more capable, globally accessible platform for video calls and messaging.
No app required
Chavid works in any browser on any device. Share a link and anyone joins instantly — no Line app, no account creation for guests.
HD group video
Host professional HD group calls with up to 100 participants — far beyond Line's group video capabilities.
Professional meeting tools
Screen sharing, waiting rooms, call recording and breakout rooms — features Line simply doesn't offer for professional use.
UK data storage
Your data stays in the UK, governed by UK GDPR — not in Japan or South Korea where Line stores its data.
Persistent messaging
Keep group conversations, threads and pinned messages organised — structured messaging built for teams and communities.
Global accessibility
Chavid works worldwide without regional restrictions. Connect with contacts in Japan, Thailand, Taiwan and beyond from one platform.
