Frequently Asked Questions
Is Feishu the same as Lark?
Feishu and Lark are both developed by ByteDance but are separate products. Feishu is the mainland China version, while Lark is offered internationally. They share similar features but use different accounts and servers.
Can foreigners use Feishu in China?
Yes. Feishu works on Chinese networks without a VPN and supports messaging, documents, and video calls. Registration requires a Chinese phone number, so a local SIM makes sign-up easier for travelers.
Does Feishu work without a VPN in mainland China?
Yes. Feishu is a domestic ByteDance service optimized for mainland networks, so it runs smoothly on local Wi-Fi and mobile data. No VPN is required to access its messaging or collaboration tools.
Is Feishu available in English?
The mainland Feishu app is primarily in Chinese, though its collaboration features like docs and sheets are intuitive. Foreign team members in China often rely on colleagues for initial setup and navigation help.
