Do you know to keep URLs clean?

When you’re sending emails, or pinging someone in Teams, your URLs should be as clean as possible. Having no extra noise ensures that they are easy to read, and it is more aesthetically pleasing.

    **Note:** URLs have become increasingly cluttered with the introduction of CampaignIDs (used to track customer activities and other information). When you're sharing the URLs, it is better to make them as clean and readable as possible... so delete everything after the question mark (including the CampaignID suffix).

## Tip #1 - Break a line before URLs

It is also a good idea to [break a line before an URL](/format-new-lines/#urls), improving its readability.

## Tip #2 - Remove "<https://www>."

For **presentations** and **videos** (i.e. (lower thirds](/video-editing-terms/#3-lower-third)), it's especially important to keep URLs cleaner. Remember to always remove `https://www.` from links. It keeps the slides cleaner and more readable.
