Zoom vs Halla
Customer support shouldn't require a calendar invite.
Zoom is incredible for internal company meetings. But if a hot lead on your website wants to see a product demo right now, making them download an app or open a calendar kills the deal.

Why Halla beats Zoom for Customer Support
Zoom revolutionized video conferencing, but it's fundamentally built around scheduled meetings, calendar holds, and application downloads. For internal teams, that's perfect. For customer support or high-intent inbound sales, it creates massive friction.
Halla.live flips the model. By utilizing ultra-lightweight WebRTC directly inside a Shadow DOM website widget, your user clicks 'Call Now' and immediately connects to your dashboard.
There are no downloads, no lobbies to wait in, and no meeting links to email back and forth. Halla catches your users at their peak point of intent—while they are actively browsing your website.
