Valgardur - assuming you are running the Windows Teams client, you can find the responsible settings.json file in USER\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Teams. The file comes with 3x "spellcheckerDisabled":false which can be replaced by "spellcheckerDisabled":true - and it does what is expected from name and value.
Unfortunately Teams will overwrite the setting back to false at next program shutdown since it seems to be a dynamic settings file. But if you mostly standby/hibernate your system with open programmes including Teams, the setting remains active, of course.
To be honest, this is a terrible thing by the developers. The setting is there for a long time already, but has never been published to the GUI.

Couldn't resist a little snark huh? 🙂 I just found that they finally added the capability to turn it off. My point is, it never should’ve been released in the first place without the ability to turn it off.
Thanks,
Mike

Sorry, that wasn't my intention. But you replied to something I wrote almost a year ago. So from my point of view I didn't understand why not disabling it. Nothing else 🙂
