Turn off spell checking in Teams
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.
Thank you for the message, but for me this is far from sufficient, I switch frequently between languages and my keyboard setting is no indication. I simply want to be able to turn this off....
Valgardur Hello, from my understanding you'll be able to do just that as per the "Spellchecking itself can be toggled on/off by users in Teams App Settings > General." as stated under What you need to do to prepare.
And Users who write different messages in different languages will now see spellchecking relevant to the language they're actively using when typing a message to answer your other request.
