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.

same issue with my laptop after teams updated. the old version is ok but lates version does not work. One more question is we have MS software. we have spellchecker in PPT Word and so no.....but why no spellchecker in Excel....

Uninstalling and reinstalling Teams fixed the issue for me. This is the second time in the past couple of months that a reinstall fixed the spell-check issue. Life witout spel cheq suks Version You have Microsoft Teams version 24165.1414.2987.41.You've got the latest version. It was last checked on 7/30/2024.The client version is 49/24053101421.

Good day, What is the estimated solution delivery on this issue? People all over the world are facing problems because of this and the issue was already acknowledged by Microsoft over six months ago. It is mindboggling that the new Teams is now forced on everyone while this issue still exists. Gross incompetence from Microsoft! To be clear, the issue is that the spelling check on a second and subsequent language does not work. It only works for the main language.

Did all of the above and the issue is still there for me.

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
