Cannot properly log-in to Messages on Mac
After I log into Messages with my AppleID, I can't send any iMessages at all. When I go to Preferences>iMessage, I see a little spinning circle next to my account. I attached a picture of it.
Why is this happening? iMessages work normally on iPhone 11. I am using a 2015 MacBook Air with macOS Monterey.
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.0
