    Yes, as a government organization, we often have printed materials with links to information. Needs to be a way to provide a simple URL to a form.

    Even integration with 3rd-party services will be a huge improvement if MS would not like to implement such a thing directly.

    AJ Bicat - You can use your own DNS. The part that we are pushing here is to shorten the Microsoft URL. I do my own DNS all day long already due to the fact that it isn't a short URL from Microsoft.

    Will be very useful. It looks very unprofessional to sent a link with dozens of random characters.

    Why is this not even a thing yet? We need short links for my company to send in a text message instead of the 9000 character length that's given now.

    Please add this feature to Forms. Definitely a better end user experience than using a third party website.

    We need to add a link to a very long privacy notice but the URL from sharepoint is not very user friendly for anyone completing the forms. We need a short link saying 'Privacy Notice'.

    People in my organization are still using Survey Monkey and will not switch over because of this limitation. They need to be able to send shorter links out to class participants, and it cannot be emailed out.

    One of my frustrations as well need to utilize othe 3rd party workarounds to relink

    Yes, please! Is this being worked on? We really need this for our external and internal users,

    Wir laden zu wichtigen Veranstaltungen immer wieder bewusst per Brief ein, weil Mails niemand mehr richtig liest. Dann können wir aber keinen kryptischen Link von Forms brauchen, weil den niemand eintippen kann. Wir brauchen einen sprechenden Link, den wir selbst definieren, wie bei Subsites vom Homepages. Gerne auch mit unserer Domain.
