# Creating a Chat Session
2+
3+
## Portal
4+
5+
Portal users can create [chat sessions](../../glossary/c/chat_session.md) in 2 places:
6+
* the Request Support screen (pre-ticket chat)
7+
* on an existing ticket (post-ticket chat)
8+
9+
### Pre-ticket chat
10+
11+
Portal users can now request to chat before they have created a ticket. They can do this by heading to `Request Support > Chat to a Technician`. Users can only have one active (in [waiting status](../../glossary/c/chat_session.md)) pre-ticket chat open at any one time.
12+
13+
### Post-ticket chat
14+
15+
Users can also chat on an existing ticket by heading to `Open Tickets > {ticket} > Chat Icon`. These chat sessions will have the ticket number attached to them so members/resources will be able to easily pull up the relevant ticket. Post-ticket chat sessions cannot be created on closed tickets.
16+
17+
## Tech
18+
19+
Tech users can only create chat sessions from a ticket at this stage and only if that ticket has an online contact assigned to the ticket. This is what's known as a push-chat, where a chat session is created with a target user.
