If you are experiencing this error, there are many possibilities. Currently the most likely is that you signed into Hangouts from a mobile phone. If you turned off the phone or closed the app without signing out first, you have created an orphan session on the Hangouts server. Unfortunately all you can do now is wait for it to expire - reports are that this takes up to 30 days.
Here is a list of some other common applications that cause this:
Google Talk (stand alone client)
Google hangouts
Web services such as eBuddy, Boxbe, splashtop streamer, mobileMe, Talkatone, Beejive
Mobile phone apps including Gmail on some phones
Any other third party chat client/social network that connects to your Google account might do the same.

In short, this is the problem: You try to go invisible in chat from your gmail and it says: “Oops! You are not invisible because you’re logged into Google Talk from another client, device, or location that doesn’t support invisibility.” No matter what you do – from signing out of all the devices/clients/locations to resetting your google account password, you STILL see the ‘oops’!
