Hey Kelemvor333,
I have this same message and found it related to the Teams preview feature allowing separate windows for chat and meetings.

Thomas Laciano Didn't work for me. I am in the meeting right now, but Teams still asks if I want to join. When I click the button I get this:

I used to be able to chat with the team and I have not idea what changed. Sometimes I can't even see the conversation icon until I restore the main Teams app. Seems to be quite buggy. Maybe it's just a Mac thing?

dmpratt16 I haven't experienced this issue in some time but I was using a Windows10 PC so I doubt it is a Mac thing.
Having it not reproduce anymore does limit my suggestions but do you see a join button in the conversation? If you choose that, are you able to participate in the chat again?
