Short Explanation
Chat is a work channel during a live demo, not the break-room fridge. Steer it: “Questions on this screen here.” Killing chat, joining the lunch thread, or pretending the sidebar is invisible all waste a tool that should be pulling eyes to the permit portal.
Full Explanation
Virtual tools must help learners achieve objectives. When chat drifts into water-cooler talk during a live permit-portal demo, the instructor refocuses it on questions about the current screen.
