Microsoft Teams Spell Check

With the recent update to Teams the spellchecker is not working correctly.  It will show the misspelled word but when you click on it there is no longer a suggested spelling popping up.  We (Several in the company) have noticed this on the latest update to the following version, Microsoft Teams Version 1.6.00.21970 (64-bit).

I have already gone in and deleted the setting.json file, that will work for a short time 10-20 minutes then back to not given a suggestion. 

I am seeing an old issue TM390278 https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msteams/forum/all/microsoft-teams-spell-check/337ee648-af60-4cf4-8336-a1c68f3a1d78

I tested if we use the pop out feature and chat in a seperate window spellchecker will work as intended it appear to be the same issue as posted before.

    Thanks for the help. I did as you suggested and it is not offering spell check. It shows that the word is misspelled but when I right click on the word there is no correction. Any suggestions?

    Hello Chad_Albrecht_999! My name is Jeremy and I’m happy to help you with your question.

    I found a more recent thread as well that had similar information.

    Try these steps in order:

    Log in to Teams > Turn Spell Check Off > Restart Teams > Turn Spell Check On > Restart Teams again.

    The thread you linked as well as the one that I found are both from 2022. The one I found being from June/July so it doesn't seem to be a common issue any longer.

    I hope the steps I gave are able to make the spell check work again.

    Regards,

    Here is what I had to do to get this to work again.

    Settings >> Disable spell check

    Restart Teams.

    Settings >> enable spell check

    Restart Teams.

    Close Teams

    Clear Teams cache.

    I had previously cleared the cache with no success but adding in the toggle of the spell check settings seems to have resolved this for me.

    The spelling worked fine in the preview version of Teams but as this is for work, I can't depend on using a beta version in day to day operations.

    #Resolution Solution :

    Today we resolve this issue in few simple steps in windows 11:

    Few things you need to ensure: Spell check setting is checked under Teams General settings.

    In old teams spell check is working fine.

    Quit Teams (close teams completely)

    Removed old teams from startup and unpinned from taskbar (optional)

    start> installed apps > Find Teams

    Teams NEW ( work or school) Click on 3 dots then advance options

    Scroll down and click on Reset button under RESET.

    Now find Teams (open/login new teams app)

    The MS Teams spell check is terrible, it constantly suggests irrelevant words that should otherwise be very simple.

    Example:

    Misspelling: evertone

    Suggestions: overtone, Everton, overtones

    How about suggesting "EVERYONE"?????
