    Got a Conflict?  
    If you’re scheduled to be elsewhere but would still like to participate, you have options. It’s okay to join the chat late. As long as you’ve identified which replies correspond to what questions, the audience will figure everything out. Another option is to pre-schedule your replies using a post management service.
