Fix Microsoft Teams Error Loading Chunk

Fix Microsoft Teams Error Loading Chunk

January 20, 2021 by Madalina Dinita Leave a Comment

Chunk loading errors usually occur when Microsoft Teams users try to access the files placed in a channel. When users click on Files, they get the ‘Loading chunk failed‘ error. This means Teams was unable to load all the components of the file you’re trying to access.

When Teams goes into that state, users also lose access to their calendar and chat history. That’s why it may be a good idea to export your chat history from time to time.

How to Fix Loading Chunk Failed on Microsoft Teams

Switch to a Different Teams Version

If you are using the desktop app, switch to the web and mobile app. Check if the same error persists. Additionally, switch to different browsers and check if you notice any difference.

Try to log out from Teams using the taskbar. Simply right-click on the Teams icon on the Taskbar and select Sign out. Then log back in, and check if the problem is resolved.
