Turn off spell checking in Teams
- May 29, 2020
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.
Hi there. That path (C:\Users ...) does not exist on my computer. Not even close. I have "C:\Users\[my name]\Roaming" - and then "Intel." That's it.
There is no "AppData" or any mention of "Microsoft" or "Teams" in that directory ... or any other I can find. This is a relatively new thread, too. Has MS concocted a major reorganization of these files within Explorer?

Tom Alongi is it possible that those directories are hidden? In the explorer there is "View" and "Hidden items", turned off by default, an often a nuisance, but sometimes necessary to enable.
