    Your assignment has a OneNote attachment.  Did you create the assignment in OneNote?  If you did, this is a common error that Microsoft has yet to fix. When you create an assignment in Omegle OneNote, you will not be able upload anything else to it, and you get that message.  The work around is to create the assignment in Teams first, then add the OneNote page you want to use. Hope this helps
