This is because Google Chrome may throttle the performance of background tabs or hidden windows, causing Web Captioner to stop processing captions during that time it is off-screen. Note that for both of these options you may need to keep the Web Captioner window visible on your screen while you are captioning, even if it's small and in the corner of your screen.
