Why Halla is the Microsoft Teams alternative for support
Microsoft Teams is designed for heavy internal enterprise collaboration: documents, chat channels, and scheduled video conferences. Exposing that ecosystem to an external website visitor is incredibly clunky.
When an anonymous visitor has a question on your pricing page, they don't want to log in as a 'Guest' on a Teams tenant. They want to push a button and speak to a human immediately.
Halla.live is a dedicated external bridge. We provide a beautiful, sub-50KB widget that drops into your website. Agents answer calls in a dedicated dashboard, keeping your external support flow entirely separate from your internal company chat.
