I have my Teams language set to English (United States), have enabled spell check in Teams, and restarted (force quit) Teams, yet spellcheck is not working for me at all in the new Teams. I know on January 17, 2023, Microsoft included the following spellcheck issues in their list of known issues with Teams : On Windows, spell checking is limited to English (United States) dictionaries. Until this feature is fixed, users can disable spell checking from the settings page. Some spell checker suggestions for English can be inaccurate. A Windows fix is pending, with an estimated rollout date of January. Users can choose to disable spell checking from the settings page until then. However, the issue seems to be broader than that, as I'm not just getting inaccurate suggestions, I'm not getting any suggestions at all. It is not underlining incorrect words, and it is not providing any suggestions. I typed a message into a Teams chat with simple mistakes, then waited 15 seconds in case maybe there's a delay in spellcheck, but nothing gets highlighted as incorrect. (screenshot below) My Teams version info: You have Microsoft Teams version 23335.232.2637.4844(preview). You've got the latest version. It was last updated on 1/23/2024.The client version is 49/24010419113.

It is a bit shame on Microsoft, I want the old version back just for the spell check. I don't use any of the feature that come to the new version.

This is joke, in our organization new teams where forced as update but spell checking doesn't work. I have system langue different than one that I used mostly for teams communication (English) but it was working perfectly in old tams. I have version 24091.214.2846.1452. Is there any estimated time for fix? Regards Lukasz

I used Method 1: Reset the app from: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/troubleshoot/teams-administration/clear-teams-cache#new-teams Type settings in the search box, and then select the Settings app from the results. Select Apps > Installed apps , and then type Microsoft Teams in the search box. Locate the New Microsoft Teams app from the results, select the More options button (...) on the right, and then select Advanced options . In the Reset section, select Reset . Restart Teams.

Clearing the cache worked for me on Windows 11 with Teams version 23335.232.2637.4844.

Close Teams, Open this directory: %userprofile%\appdata\local\Packages\MSTeams_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Microsoft\MSTeams

Delete all files
