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.

Hello, I am using New Teams, and I am still facing this issue. I have tried all the suggestions and still facing the problem.

Did you make sure to end all MS teams processes in Task Manager? CTL +ALT+DEL Sometimes you have to scroll down and find all processes, not just the app. I don't know other ways. Occasionally this needs to be done again. Close and quit the new Microsoft Teams application. Make sure to also end any MS Teams processes in Task Manager (need to scroll down, usually there are additional Microsoft Teams processes open) In the start run location (bottom left search box in windows) type: * %localappdata%\packages\msteams_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Microsoft* Delete MSTeams folder – this will not delete your conversations. Start the new Microsoft Teams client

Dear Katy It's been now close to the end of June, the spell checker (for non english language) is not working in the new Teams, which was, and still is working in the "Old" Teams, and now, without this super important feature not working, you are forcing the users, which need this tool, to use the New Teams. Teams is a comunication tool, and loosing crucial features it's unacceptable Sincerely Luis

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

- Close and quit the new Microsoft Teams application. Make sure to also end any MS Teams processes in Task Manager (need to scroll down, usually there are additional Microsoft Teams processes open)
- In the start run location (bottom left search box in windows) type: *%localappdata%\packages\msteams_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Microsoft*
- Delete MSTeams folder – this will not delete your conversations.
- Start the new Microsoft Teams client
