Exceed Charatcer limit events webpart sharepoint online

Hi,

I was trying to add a teams meeting URL address in the link field while adding an event in a SharePoint Modern Page, I am getting the following message "The maximum character limit is 255. The number of characters entered is 292." . May I know if there is any way to extend the character limit to the events web95965-events-webpart.pngpart.

I am using a Communication site.

Kindly advice.

Thanks

Hi @KVijetha-9342 ,
This is a restriction on links on SharePoint Online. It not only exists in web parts, but also in lists. There is currently no way to expand.

As a workaround, you could add a link in the event description:

At present, many users have put forward suggestions on SharePoint UserVoice, and the officials have also taken them into consideration and you could also ask the official to put forward your suggestion:
Remove the 255 character restriction on Hyperlink fields

A similar post about character limit 255:
