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

Welcome to my world! I am not the best at typing, so I count on basic auto-correct. The options it gives now are so bad that I don't use it and just figure it out myself manually. I do not understand how even if it is using the basic dictionary from the OS how does it not have the most basic of English words!

Further mor the tech I was working with from Microsoft thanked me for letting them know what I had learned about the problem. They don't seem to know the first thing about this issue. So frustrating.

They cannot fix this soon enough!

I misspelled because as "becasue" and it gave me the suggestions of "berceuse", "beaus" and "recase". What in the world?? I feel like we just regressed 10 years. Also, mine is the newest teams app on the newest windows platform.

Thank you for this update! This is great information!!!

Some additional info for people who've been replying to this thread.

The issue isn't so much to do with Teams as it is the Windows 11 operating system. I've confirmed this by testing on Windows 10 & 11 and with the new & old Teams clients. I've also confirmed this by encountering the same poor spelling suggestions when filling out forms in the Edge browser on Windows 11.

It just happens that Teams uses the OS's spellcheck and not a dedicated spellcheck mechanism like desktop versions of Office products do.

Now, you can go into Edge settings, and change the "Enable grammar and spellcheck assistance" from "Basic" to "Microsoft Editor" - for improved spellchecking in Edge - but, that doesn't carry over to Teams unfortunately.

Also, I received an update for the case I have open with Microsoft support: "...the latest the fix can come is late February or early March..." and "The fix could come sooner"

So, yeah - pretty vague still. But its in the pipeline and should be coming out the first quarter hopefully.

this is getting beyond a joke at this point. Please Microsoft fix this. I felt like I was doing something wrong 'til I read this thread. It feels like there is an attempt to make the suggested word at least as long as the mistyped one and to try to use all the letters, especially consonants (in English).
