How to turn off "chat is disconnected" error?

We recently deployed the Agent Workspace and have been seeing a new error message about chat becoming disconnected. Since we do not use chat at this time I would like to disable/remove this notification. Is there some instructions or advice on how to disable it?

    Hey Richard, 

    You would just need to make sure Chat itself is disabled to all users if you're not using it currently. As long as Chat is disabled for agents, then the error won't appear. 

    FYI - you can't actually turn this error message off anyways. 

    Hope this helps, 

    Best,

    Amie

    Hi Richard,

    You will use Admin Center to enable and disable product access. To  disable product access
    1. Open the team members profile in Admin Center.
    2. Click the Roles and access tab.
    3. In the Access column, select the products that you want to disable. 
    4. Click Save.
    5. Repeat this procedure for each user whose access you want to set.

    For more information, please see this article: Setting roles and access in Zendesk Admin Center

    I hope this helps. Thanks you!

    So originally messaging was disabled and I did enable it to review some settings, but have since disabled it. Also the chat function is turned off for this user. Here is screenshots showing the settings I have for both messaging and the user's roles.

    System Messaging setting:

    Roles for the user that is reporting the pop up:

     

    Any other ideas?

    Hi Richard,

    Found this community article here - https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/4423541566618-Chat-is-disconnected-error- it says that this happens when you are logged into another location or browser. When you are logged in on your google chrome and safari at the same time. The browser where activity is detected will be your active session and this error will appear on the not active browser. 
     
    Another cause is when a Zendesk support agent is assumed into your account, as you or other users. You'll see the disconnect message while Zendesk support agents are using account assumption. I hope this answer your question. 
     
    Thanks you!

    Hey Gabriel, 

    I appreciate the posts, but to clarify if your saying that the module is turned off and an agent uses multiple tabs he can get the message? I thought if the module was off and there was no license assigned it should not display for agents at all?

    Hi Richard,

    The agent can use multiple tabs on a single browser, however, if they will log in on a different browser (for example both Google Chrome and Safari) at the same time, this is where they can get the 'Chat is disconnected' error on the initial browser because Chat allows only 1 active session at a time, and that's the most recent browser they used to log in.

    If the Chat product is not enabled for the agent, they won't have access to Chat and can't go Online.

    Hey Christine, please refer to my previous screenshot on December 5th, 2022. The Chat product is not enabled and they are still receiving the message. Here is another copy to confirm his settings.
