Drop your files here box won't go away

I just had the same issue, my fix (for now) has been dragging an item into the chat, pressing the X on the following prompt.
I hope this helps.
With my issue, it seems to happen when you click and drag a file to a browser.
Thanks to everyone who stayed active on this thread and didn't let it die. Hopefully this will all be behind us after December 15th. Until then: F1 key is the fastest workaround.
I'm told its fixed in this release and it's meant to be out in the wild already.

- But the thread started November 2021... What about all the patches since then? =P
PS - You have Microsoft Teams Version 1.5.00.33362 (64-bit). It was last updated on 12/12/2022.
My Post was 13/12/2022 - The day after updating. Proving unequivocally, that Microsoft did sweet F.A. to resolve this bug... again.- So, it appears the updated client isn't working either... at least on some teams clients. I was on the phone yesterday to MS Support and they are taking it back to the PG to investigate further. Sorry I wish I had better news on the topic 😞
With the collective energy on this thread, I sure hope this fixes it! If not, We The People (of this thread) will keep running the ball for yards! 🙂
Good news on the coming fix.
While F1 does clear it, I've also found just trying to drag a random image in your chat window down to it also clears it which is faster for me.
Slightly dragging one of those images causes it, and full dragging it down to your chat box makes it go away.
- You, sir, are a steely-eyed missile man! Thanks for seeing it through to the finish line. You will prevent the pulling out of much hair.
- Thank you SirReality. The reality is, every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end. ::piano plays::
