Additional chat-related features and issues within Microsoft Teams for business
You’ve tried “what” multiple times and I’m “incorrect” about what?
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".

2024-02-07T19:12:03+00:00 Several people where I work have lost the spellcheck functionality all together. Myself included. Some are missing the .bdic file in "C:\Users<user_name>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Teams\Dictionaries" and some are missing the Dictionaries folder all together.

I know I do not have a "Dictionaries" folder within that path on any of my Teams installs.

You can go to Start > Run and type "Winver" to see.Include the Version & Build number.
Windows 11 - which is where the issue reported was occurring - needed an update to correct this issue.
To clear cache - you must go to %localappdata%\packages\MSTeams_8wekyb3d8bbwe\Localcache\Microsoft\MSTeams and delete the contents of that folder - while signed out of Teams.
