How can we make Microsoft Teams better?

Respect the Windows 10 global spellcheck setting

Windows 10 allows you to disable spellcheck globally. This is important to customers who write in more than one language. Almost no UWP apps from Microsoft respect this setting (OneNote, for example, ignores this as well).

Spellcheck and it's annoying litte red worms are real frustration. Why do you assume that we all want spellcheck everywhere?

    Yes, please let us turn it off. Either by respecting the global setting (best), or in Teams itself. Usability/readability is more important than the occasional real spelling error that gets through.

    Spellcheck can be disabled. Rename the folder in your profile containing the component,

    %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Teams\current\resources\app.asar.unpacked\node_modules\@paulcbetts\spellchecker.OFF

    You willneed to repeat this each time the app is updated.
