    There way to many characters when you send a link an evaluation that has been created using Forms. Would like to have the ability to add a tag or customize the URL to match what I am evaluating.

    I want to include a link on the corporate TV.
    QR Code not run as well, because the TV is too high.

    without the ability to shorten the url - this can't be referenced in a hard copy. such as a flier. For this reason, I must use google forms.

    The fact that this isn't possible yet is astounding. I'm nearly in shock as this is the first time I've used Forms. I don't have time to recreate this form in another platform but I will not use Forms again until links can be shortened.

    Definitely it would be great to be able to create short urls not only to share it easily but also to have a cleaner QR code

    Using Forms -> Flow -> Outlook notifications. URL would be handy if it can be customized to a meaningful extension rather than random string, any luck here? any one is able to make it happen?
    Thanks in advance.

    Come on Microsoft...this is an easy win and imperative. The link does not describe what you are actually trying to send someone.

    please, create this feature as all the other players like google and Typeforms. I don't want to use other external services like tinyurl for security matters!

    The link this thing generates looks like i am trying to trick people into giving out their social security numbers.

    I've noticed this request goes back to 2016. Please implement this essential and very useful feature. Is there a reason we have had to wait so long already?

    Just joining the party on this one...this would be a huge help when sending our URL to our end users, and a nice user-friendly feature. Please implement!

    We are beginning to promote our school in the community and on social media and want to use Microsoft Forms for registration to our specialist programs. Although the long URL is functional, I will now possibly need to look at another option as it does not look professional. Please create an option for shorter URL's.
