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.
