How to Share a Google Form with Respondents

1. Launch your Google Form in a new tab.

2. Navigate to the top right of your screen and click the icon labelled “SEND.”

3. In the pop-up box, enter the email addresses of the people whose information you need to have completed on the form if you wish to send the form to them through email. You can also edit the subject line of your email, the content that is sent, and choose whether or not the form is included in the email.

4. To send a link to the form to someone else, select the symbol that looks like a link and click the Share button in the middle of the pop-up window. This will provide you with a link that you can copy and paste into an email to distribute to other people.

5. In the pop-up box, locate and select the icon labelled “embed”; this will allow you to incorporate the form into a website. The embed code should be copied and then pasted into your website. You are able to modify the dimensions of your form by making changes to the width and height of this window. Please note that if you are working with WordPress, you should copy and paste this HTML code into the text editor rather than the visual editor.

When you create a Google Form, anyone who has access to the URL can respond to the questions, but only the person who created the form can view the responses or make changes to it.
