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.

I just uninstall the new version and leave the oldest one active, the result is that the spell check worked but now the problem goes to OUTLOOK so now I cant see the Teams Status on my contacts, all off them are like "disconnected" so if you fix one problem you create a new one. I had to install the NEW TEAMS again so now the contact status its updated but guess what? The spell check is not working again.. smh!

Microsoft Teams (version 23335.232.2637.4844, client version is 49/23113028724) is not employing spell check at our organization with many users complaining. Have tried implementing the fixes found in this thread to no avail. Microsoft once again force installing broken software onto our machines causing everyone headaches. Thanks Microsoft!

I am dealing with the same issue that everyone else seems to be experiencing. I've attempted all of the suggested fixes to no avail. Is there an update in the works? I see this has been a problem for a while now.

Hello - I am in the USA, I followed all of the suggested fixes/checks and spell check is not working AT ALL in the new 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
