Can You Remove the Disclaimer in Microsoft Forms?
Question details
The user wants to know if it is possible to remove or customize the footer disclaimer on an embedded or shared Microsoft Form.
- Product
- Microsoft Forms
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Embedding or sharing a Microsoft Form and wanting to clean up the user interface by hiding the default Microsoft disclaimer.
- Observed behavior
- Microsoft Forms automatically appends a footer disclaimer to all forms that users cannot find a setting to hide or edit.
Ensure you are logged into your Microsoft 365 account with the necessary permissions to edit the form settings and review available options.
Acknowledge the Limitation and Submit Feedback
Currently, Microsoft Forms does not allow users to remove or customize the footer disclaimer. The official recommendation is to submit a feature request to Microsoft.
By design, Microsoft Forms includes a standard footer disclaimer to protect user data privacy and clarify terms of service. Because this is a hardcoded element required for compliance across Microsoft's ecosystem, there is no built-in toggle or setting to disable it.
If removing this disclaimer is important for your organization's branding or user experience, the best course of action is to formally request the feature through Microsoft's feedback channels.
Navigate to the Microsoft Forms dashboard in your web browser and open the specific form you wish to customize.
Click on the three dots (More form settings) located in the top right corner of the screen.
Select 'Send Feedback' or 'Feedback' from the dropdown menu, describe your request to allow disclaimer removal or customization, and submit it to the Microsoft development team.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use custom code to hide the Microsoft Forms disclaimer on my website?
No. When you embed a Microsoft Form using the provided iframe code, the styling is controlled entirely by Microsoft's servers. You cannot override the styling with external CSS to hide the disclaimer.
Does upgrading to a premium Microsoft 365 Enterprise account let me remove the disclaimer?
No. Regardless of whether you are using a free Microsoft account or a paid premium Enterprise Microsoft 365 subscription, the footer disclaimer remains non-removable.
Are there alternative form builders that allow disclaimer removal?
Yes. Many third-party form builders like SurveyMonkey, Typeform, or Jotform offer the ability to remove their branding and disclaimers, though this feature often requires subscribing to one of their paid premium plans.
