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 still have this problem. How can I fix it?

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.

Hi All, we are in July almost and error is still ! what is going on you have implemented new version with so huge bug and now I do not have a chance to use old version?? we don't need apologies but rather good working software which we paid for. -> seriously 7 points how to fix it??? it should be delivered tested and w/o bugs

This is an official feature also documented, see link below: Check your spelling in multiple languages in Microsoft Teams This feature is still not working in the New Team officially released in our organization! Sidenote: We are a large multinational corporation located all around the globe. The old Team is already phased out, no option to use the old one. For me the only solution is to use the online variant of the Team, which works with Edge browser . For that one needs to configure the browser correctly:

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
