  5. Open the Settings page under the My Profile section.
  6. In the Connectivity options, change your Workplace endpoint from 8x8 Work to either Phone or SIP URL.
  7. Click Save.
  8. Try to switch the Workplace endpoint back to 8x8 Work.

Cause

The main causes for the issue are that the WebRTC client has failed to register and needs to try and re-register, or that the user has had their 8x8 Work license removed and they will need to get it assigned again.
If the error persists after the refresh and the user does have an 8x8 Work license assigned to their profile, it could be an indication of a wider issue and will require further investigation from 8x8 Technical Support.
