What happened to the spellcheck feature on the new Teams??

I have notice that the spell check seems to be broken on the new Teams version. The incorrectly spelled word still gets underlined in red, and a suggestion list populates as it used to, but the suggestions are ridiculous. A perfect example is the word "definitely".

    Yep.. Australian English can't fix a simple typo now.

    If you mistype "don't" you'll get a plethora of incorrect fixes (don's, do's, dot) but not a simple replacement. This is an example if happens for any and every word that is recognised as incorrect.

    Seems to be isolated to Teams.

    Guess I better work on my typing accuracy!

    Yeah I agree, the spell check suggestions are ****, I've got Australian English selected but still gives me spelling mistakes and then gives me the wrong suggestion to add insult to injury...

    Shame I can't insert screenshots of how bad it is.

    Hi Captain, Welcome to the Microsoft Community. I am a Microsoft user just like you, and I hope you are well.

    Please note: This is a user-to-user community forum. We are users just like you who help others. We are not employees of Microsoft.

    Microsoft Teams is continuously evolving, and changes to the spellcheck feature may have been made since then. However, if you're experiencing issues with spellcheck in Microsoft Teams, and the suggestions provided seem incorrect, you can try the following steps to address the problem:

    1. Ensure that your Microsoft Teams application is up to date. Software updates often include bug fixes and improvements, which may address issues with the spellcheck feature.
    2. Make sure that the language settings in your Microsoft Teams profile are correctly configured. Incorrect language settings can affect the accuracy of spellcheck suggestions.
    3. Clear Cache: Sometimes, issues with spellcheck can be related to cached data. Clearing the cache in Microsoft Teams can help. To do this, sign out of Teams, clear the cached data, and then sign back in.
    4. Custom Dictionary: Check if there is a custom dictionary enabled in your Microsoft Teams settings. Sometimes, custom dictionaries can lead to unexpected spellcheck behaviour.
    5. If you're using the web version of Microsoft Teams, the spellcheck feature may rely on your browser's spellcheck settings. Ensure that your browser's spellcheck is enabled and configured correctly.

    I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

    Best Regards, Umar Majeed
