URL's in a form

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I am trying to put a URL in the description field of a Microsoft form whilst using my Personal O365 account (and in some of the text of questions) and none of the text is recognised as a URL so the link isn't clickable.

Is this possible and if not how do we request it?

Hi @Anonymous,

How do you add the link in the description? I tested on my side, and it works. Hope it can help you, this is the Form link:

I noticed you have the text "Description: " prior to the URL. Have you tried removing this and have just the URL by itself?

I have removed the "Description:" text the link I sent you will show that the modified form still doesn't work. I also created a form from scratch using the google URL and never entering "Description:" so as to avoid as many differences to your setup as possible. Here is the link to the form
Here are the steps I took (see if you can see any difference)

Hi @Anonymous,

I noticed that you are using Form (in preview), maybe link does not support in this version, you can test it by using the Microsoft Form Pro, this is the site for Form Pro:

I am using my personal account Name@outlook.com)
Forms pro here seems to only work or school accounts (not personal accounts) see image below when I click "lets get started"
If I try to sign in with the sign in link (top right of the web page) it defaults to "preview" because I use a personal account
