    Hey Kelemvor333, 

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

    I was able to solve this issue by double clicking on the calendar icon in the meeting header which opens a new window and allows for chat. 

     

    A non-intuitive experience for sure.

I had this problem a few times.

So when I join the meeting from my laptop it asks if I want to open the Teams app to join or use the web browser. I had been using the app to join and it eventually started to give the message that I'm not part of the chat. So I left the meeting and joined via web browser. The chat was working then but I still wanted to use the app so I left the web browser meeting and joined through the app again and it worked.

So if your using the app, try the browser, close it, then the app again.

Good Luck!
