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.

This reply states "A Windows fix is pending, with an estimated rollout date of January. ... If none of these steps resolve the issue, i would like to inform you to wait until the end of January and i will update you on the status." The month is now September, and there's been no other reply from you. It's been nearly 11 months to the day since New Teams was officially released, and there is still no official fix for the issue. Why are we being forced to use New Teams when such an important part of the app is non-functional?

I have the same problem, is there any fix?

It still does not work. It does not respect the keyboard language, and it always highlights all non-English words.

Yup. its Feb 22/24 and still the new teams spell checker isnt working so Im using the original again

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
