How to reveal anonymous submissions in Microsoft Forms
Hi all, I'm relatively new to using Microsoft Forms, and I did not know that the default setting for MS Forms submissions was to show user feedback as "anonymous." My form is a simple yes or no ...

Gary Walker if the form is set to anonymous there is no way to find out who submitted. If there was it would be a compliance nightmare and, in the EU at least, could lead to legal action if it was a public form and someone was contacted who thought the form they had submitted was anonymous.

Hello,
I have the same problem and the link was responded by a group of students that i’m the owner for, and they already have Microsoft accounts, could it be to know the names of the responses?
Thank you

saba228 as I explained in my previous response, it is not possible to get the names of who has submitted a response on an anonymous form. Anonymous means anonymous and that's how it should be.

What if I do student surveys for different courses in separate forms and I need a hash that encrypts the email to be able to know that it is the same person in each course without revealing who he/ she is

It's not possible.
