Most of all I'd like autocorrect (i.e. a spelling correction that I've used previously automatically gets applied as I type). Stretch goal for this, have a single set of autocorrects that work across all of Office 365, including the client apps.

Please add this feature that is available across all other MS365 apps

This is a nuisance. Allow a local dictionary that will sync back just like every other Office app. Not being able to add a word that is not misspelt is counter productive.

This is ridiculous to not have such an obvious feature that all other o365 apps have. Even worse is that no-one from Microsoft appears to have chimed in or marked it as being worked on. You'd hope they would want to let us know they are reading this UserVoice.

Unbelievable that the product has been shipped without the capability to add words to the dictionary on the fly and edit the dictionary separately to remove words no longer required...!

This would be a great feature, especially for all of the acronyms that Teams doesn't recognize.

This seems a no brainer. I have no idea where the dictionary for Teams comes from it's the worst I've expeienced in any setting. I'm dyslexic so this is a total nightmare. Important messages I have to cut and past into google to find out how to spell some words and to sanity check a lot of words teams say are incorrect.....

Company lingo words added to dictionary to eliminate the "misspelled word" syndrome.

Mine doesn't even recognize contractions. "I've" shows as misspelled. It wants me to change it to "I've" and it still shows misspelled. This REALLY needs to be fixed.

Please upvote. I am finding quite a few issues in teams like this.
teams seem to be an immature product missing simple things, like Add to dictionary -

I messaged a colleague called Ashleigh and Teams (and in fact this uservoice group) doesn't recognise the name, and wants me to change it to Ashlee.... I have never in my life seen someone's name spelled AshLEE. How come there's no way to add to the dictionary; or better still, why is there not a common Windows dictionary that everything else references!!

I agree with all the other posters, this is crazy and unprofessional, not have this simple function available

I don't know why the functionality of right-clicking on a word in Teams is so different than every other O365 Program. This should be a simple fix to make it exactly the same as Outlook & Word; it should give the Spelling function when you right-click and list the possible corrections and give the Add to Dictionary option.
And/or, Teams uses your Word & Outlook Libraries so words you already have added to the dictionary there are saved for Teams to recognize too.
