ability to e-mail user's responses back them
ability to e-mail user's responses back them, of course the user has to put the e-mail as on of the questions. Also a way to put this at the end of form. "A copy of your responses will be emailed to the address you provided." MICROSOFT FORMS MUST be better than Google forms/surveys! Google forms has that option. See example.

Dear Microsoft Forms customer,
We are working on email receipt v2 recently. Based on your comments, we consider to iterate this feature which can match your requirements.
This survey is to understand your needs on response receipt in Forms. We really appreciate you could take 1-2 minutes to fill the survey. Here is the link: https://aka.ms/emailreceiptv2
Thanks!
Microsoft Forms Team

Per the forms blog (https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-forms-blog/what-s-new-in-microsoft-forms-january-2021/ba-p/2054434), "allow receipt of responses after submission "apparently only will email internal users; external users will instead only have the option to print a PDF.
We'd really like it if external respondents could receive their copies via email as well:
(1) It's too easy to accidentally navigate away from the after submission page
(2) I can imagine an internal respondent forwarding the respone link link and assuring the recipient, "it'll just email your response to you when done" (not knowing that ONLY works for internal users)Either of these could cause frustration with external users (who are likely to be our customers, partners, vendors, etc).

look like the two options are totally not workable:
--allow receipt of responses after submission,
--get email notification of each response.
should I check the form time to time? not smart at all!
hope you can upgrade this function ASAP!!! -

What about if using forms to conduct audits of on team members work and allow the results of this audit form to be emailed to a specified email address for feedback?

Is there an update on this?

Response to email sent out to regarding the update from Microsoft Forms Team above.
This is still not a valid option for Government Tenants. Please do a better job with communication. Not professional at all.

Would be a great way to ensure HR gets written feedback from interviews, development discussions etc. - instead of having to collect printed or emailed schemes and typing the input manually, you could just do the development discussion in Forms, and send the feedback directly to the manager and HR and preferable a third party (the employee in this case)

Yes, do it and now! This one is a must to do for Microsoft.
At our school, we miss this function very much when we send a form to the parents.

Absolute must ! Right now I have to confirm to people outside my organization that their answers were received, and the only way for me to do that right now is with a very long set up of Microsoft Flow.

Yes, This is a must have! We are using this form as a New Hire Sign Up form, and I would like the supervisors to see what their responses were to hold them accountable for what they put! I have to manually extract the info right now from the excel version for each and every form submission. It's very tedious!
Please consider this feature!
Thanks,

Keila M Pagan-Incle, I can confirm it is still not a GCC option for my tenant, 2 weeks later.
Microsoft Forms Team,
The survey follow-up to answering "No" to "Have you tried Microsoft Forms Email Receipt feature already?"
options is just advising the respondent to try it and then return to fill out the survey.
You shared the link with the entire UV audience, despite the feature not being available to all tenants yet (only O365 for business?).
It might me nice if either:
1. the branching for "No" offered a choice for "it isn't available in my tenant" rather than it's current option "I will" [try it and return].
2. include information in your response above as to which tenants CAN test the new feature, so others do not waste their time or skew your results with a bunch of "No"s that seem to indicate they are unaware of the feature, rather than that it is not available to them.. -

Your survey link seems to only be related to office 365 forms for business. I have a personal Office account so I don't have the choice to email responses back to the participant. (Yes, I have the business account at work and yes, I've used that feature. I just need it for the personal Office, too.)
Thanks! -

I verified the option through Microsoft Forms but I don't have the option available. Not sure if it's different or takes longer to show up for GCC tenants.

I can't enable this function - Is it only available to responses submitted by people in my organisation?

Is there an ETA on when this feature will roll out to GCC tenants?

I don't have permission to view the link above. So what is the status for the possibility for the user can 'Send me a copy of my responses'??

I don't have permission to view the link above? It would be good to have an option like google forms has where the user can 'Send me a copy of my responses'

Agree, just found this article and can't believe the feature is limited to people in the organization. C'mon Microsoft.
