That's pretty much what it loosely means here too - in Salt Lake
City.

Sometimes, people will comment on what someone said while they are
sharing (not interrupting, though) and that is pretty acceptable
here, but it is still crosstalk by definition. I don't really mind
when people do it that way - but it does get annoying when the
meeting becomes all about what one member shared 40 minutes ago -
you know?
