With the URL Shortener app, anyone with a UConn NetID can take a long URL and can create a short URL for shortened version of it. This short URL will direct people to the same page as the full URL.

Tip

A short URL can be useful when you have character limits or when you are scheduling a meeting where the “join link” may need to change.
