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 does not work only with the "NEW" Teams. When I switch to the old one, spellcheck works fine.

I got an update and now spell check is working version 24004.1307.2669.7070.

Miracle of miracles... My Teams is spell checking once again. I say "miracle", because I can find no explanation why the issue began or how it resolved. I had been on the phone with my IT guy last week for a call that ended in frustration as my Teams was still not spell-checking. Flash-forward a week later, and just as mysteriously as the glitch began, it then ceased. Was a super-sleuth update pushed out in the background that allowed for the issue to correct itself? Are there tiny magical entities living in my computer who reached their limit of seeing my dyslexic typos go uncorrected that they instituted a change? I will probably never know. Today, I'm just grateful I seem to have fully-functioning Microsoft applications on my PC.

For me as well. 24004.1307.2669.7070 seems to have fixed the spelling issue.

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
