Hi GeorgeRoberson,

Since reinstall Teams can temporarily fix this issue, you can try to sign out and kill Teams from Task Manager to see how it goes.

If the problem persists, you can try to clear Teams cache to see if it can help:

1.  Fully exit the Microsoft Teams desktop client. You can right click Teams from the Icon Tray and select ‘Quit’ or run Task Manager and fully kill the process.

2.  Go to File Explorer, and type in %appdata%\Microsoft\teams.

3.  Once in the directory, you’ll see a few of the following folders:

========================================================

 a.  From within ‘Application Cache’, go to Cache and delete any of the files in the Cache location.

    *   %appdata%\Microsoft\teams\application cache\cache

 b.  From within ‘Blob_storage’, delete any files that are located in here if any.

    *   %appdata%\Microsoft\teams\blob_storage

 c.  From within ‘Cache’, delete all files.

    *   %appdata%\Microsoft\teams\Cache

 d.  From within ‘databases’, delete all files.

    *   %appdata%\Microsoft\teams\databases

 e.  From within ‘GPUCache’, delete all files.

    *   %appdata%\Microsoft\teams\GPUcache

 f.  From within ‘IndexedDB’, delete the .db file.

    *   %appdata%\Microsoft\teams\IndexedDB

 g.  From within ‘Local Storage’, delete all files.

    *   %appdata%\Microsoft\teams\Local Storage

 h.  Lastly, from within ‘tmp’, delete any file.

*   %appdata%\Microsoft\teams\tmp

====================================================

Once the cleanup is finally completed, you can now restart Teams and check the results.

Best Regards,

Sylvie

    I'm on a Mac but using Teams through Chrome browser. Everything was working fine until this afternoon when I refreshed the page and suddenly I was getting this error message. 

    When I tried on Safari I was getting 'To re-enable the application the tab needs to be refreshed' but refreshing brought me back to the same page. 

    Spent 15 panicked minutes trying to get it to work before my students started to join my live lesson, and I managed to get it to work after unchecking 'prevent cross site tracking' but apparently this might result in privacy issues. I can't find a fix for it at all in Chrome. 

    The desktop app doesn't really work very well for me - the mic is glitchy through it and it won't let me share my powerpoints so browser is my only option.

    To fix this problem on Chrome, disable every extension that blocks things on this site for example my pop up ad blocker had been blocking Microsoft teams from pooping up its page so if this keeps on happening Allow pop ups or disable any extension that has full access on this site. Peace.
