People and workSangam (chat and meetings)

Team chat, calls, meetings and webinars on Thoshika, with approvals you can act on from the conversation.

Sangam is where teams talk: channels, direct messages and threads, calls and scheduled meetings, all inside the same sign-in as the rest of Thoshika. Channels can follow People teams, projects, deals and support escalations, and approval tasks arrive as cards with Approve and Reject buttons. Calls and meetings run on Thoshika’s own media servers.

  • Approval cards with Approve and Reject in chat
  • Meetings with lobby, breakouts, polls and Q and A
  • Webinars with view-only audiences
  • Live captions and searchable transcripts
