Logging in to the StreamText chat box is optional. However, you may use the chat box to communicate with your captioner. There may be multiple students receiving captions in a course. Therefore, you may not be the only student logged into Streamtext. You may use your initials when logging into the chat box to maintain privacy. The captioners are captioning and monitoring multiple screens, so they will respond as they are able to.
