URL shortener for Teams
When using the "get link" option in teams it would be better to have an embedded link shortener. Pasting the link in email looks terrible.

Shorter URLs will integrate Teams better with other software. This can only be of benefit to MS, no downsides, so please hurry up!

This is a must, it should be offered as an option when generating a sharing URL

Teams lists limits URL length to 255 characters. This is a problem in itself, but the annoying part is that any link to a file or folder stored in the teams "files" most likely has a URL longer than 255 characters. Please resolve this problem ASAP.
Lists in teams should be able to have a column that has a "file/folder on teams" datatype. to avoid the need for me to copy paste URLs

@673546846-alex the link you provided specifically references sharing files, what about links to the meetings themselves?

It is inefficient to copy and paste a long link to open IE. It will take a long time to set it as a link because it will be a long sentence to paste it as it is in the comment. I hope for a prompt response!

Since we have to use IE as a browser, when creating a "shortcut", we have to preface the target location of the shortcut with "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" followed by the target location. The HUGE link that is created for a TEAMS meeting exceeds the maximum length allowed for the target location, and it gets cut off. So we can't even create a **** SHORTCUT for a teams meeting. Using a URL shortener doesn't work in our environment, so we are forced to copy the entire link from an email, and paste it into the IE address bar. I'm shaking my head at the amount of time it is taking to address this problem. Ridiculous.

Please make this happen - would increase user-friendliness and adoption- the long URLs for links within the system are painful and confusing.

Also, the link is too long to paste in, when creating an Event in the Calendar, since the Link field can only take 255 characters.

Poxa, 2 anos avaliando para criar um recurso de encurtar URL... Ah se o Windows Millenium tivesse esse mesmo cuidado, talvez não teriam perdido tempo em lança-lo.
Aguardando... -

I need a short URL for a meeting. This because I need to publish the URL in the newspaper.

URL must follow the naming scheme of the Teams channel or file also.
It's stupid to see a link from a week back that has no relation to the actual file in Teams. How can I determine where the file is located for the case where the file has been renamed, removed or moved to a different subdirectory.
Consider a link to a FY2021 budget file. I want to get to other files for the budget and do not have any way to determine where the linked file resides.
www.microsoft.com does not have every link as a random string of digits after "www.microsoft.com".

CTRL+K solves it for me. Couldn't find that solution anywhere in help or searching except this thread... finally.
