The writer spends about 30 minutes talking about the topic and then open the chat for questions. Or it can be an assignment chat, were the assignment is previously given and the participants come to the chat to talk about the assignment. This is a great way to promote a subject you're interested in, or to host classes. They can either be free or for a fee. Always log into a chat at least five minutes before.
Chatrooms sometimes have a tendency to be hard to connect to.
You don't want to miss the chat because you waited too late to sign on. Always know the rules of a chat you are attending. If its moderated, do you have to send in questions before the chat begins. Don't send in your questions until asked. It confuses the person asking the question.
