There is not usually a timing limitation imposed by a web-based chat tool that I'm aware of. If the chat client only gave you 10 seconds to type a message before cancelling anything you typed, that would be a different story... Did you have a specific issue in mind?

Thanks,

Subject: [WebAIM] chat and timing

Hey guys,

Does a web-based chat app (such as live person's product for instance) meet WCAG2 real-time/essential exceptions to the timing adjustable guideline? http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#time-limits

Thanks,
