My normal chat bar has been replaced by the file sharing bar. How do I return to a normal chat bar??

for me, it was fixed by shutting down MS teams from task manager tool.

@ChristianKoh This worked for me, it was a problem for me today.

@insurance_web_dev to add further context for a hopeful fix, this occurred when opening an image that was sent to me from another team member

Workaround - use the pop-out button in the upper right until you have time to restart Teams.

I just opened a support case using the help & support link in the Office 365 admin portal with the subject line "Drop your files here" and I linked to this thread in the case. Maybe if we all do the same, this issue will start to get some attention.

@PenitentMan85 I haven't received any further reports from users about this issue and since I can't reproduce it, the support case is being closed.

@NateL1010 This error is happening to me now multiple times a day... it's so annoying. It's making teams almost unusable, so i don't know how you can say it doesn't exist...

@trancemonkey Can anyone replicate the problem? Im getting it multiple times a day but am unable to replicate on demand.

The long-term fix to this problem is to clear the Teams cache. The process varies a bit, depending on what device you are using Teams on. For example, on an Android device you would follow these steps:

@Matty_Boy You may have missed the clarification that it is a recurring issue for some users even after clearing the Teams cache. This is confirmed in my organization.
