If you open the chat from the Chat icon, you can see the number of people in the chat at the top right. If you select this icon you can remove some individuals from the chat and add others. I typically will go through and remove those not currently online as they are most likely not active in the meeting. We will then add the individuals which are receiving the error. It still limits to the 249, but seems to be the best workaround.
