How to turn off "auto-correction" in Teams?

When chatting in Microsoft Teams, the program will frequently auto-"correct" text that I type, or even more often, text that I paste. This frequently causes problems, as it changes the meaning of what I am saying. Even worse, it can cause URLs to break, or code snippets to be incorrect. One particularly egregious example was when I tried to paste a URL into the chat which included a query string. One parameter in the query string was like "...something&REGIONID=something", and Teams "corrected" "&REGIONID" to "®IONID". This caused the URL to not work, and the only way I could fix it was to manually edit the text after Teams broke it. Is there any setting to turn these auto-corrections/auto-formatting off, so Teams just keeps whatever I type or paste and leaves it alone?

Surely this is just the Spell check active:
See Settings --> General : Enable Spell Check option.
