By Default, Collapse Chat for Client unless Client begins to type
(Or clicks on the collapsed chat box)
Even if Chat is turned on, suppress chat unless the Player themself is willing to initiate discourse.
Edit: Also do not add any kind of notification on the closed chat that anyone has been typing anything as that would cause a FOMO incentive rather than genuine interest from the Trial itself.
Also add in some kind of marker to show who is still in the End-game Chat/Post-Trial results screen and who has moved onto another lobby, so it gives people who are interested in chatting about the Trial an indication of who remains.
