Hi Sebastien,
in addition to the suggestion given by Nyall Dawson, I would suggest you
using the "Random points in layer bounds" algorithm: you just need to
specify the total number of random points to be generated. The resulting
layer will contain the specified number of points and such points will
fall inside the polygons.
It seems to me that the "Random points in extent" algorithm, suggested
by Chris Hermansen, may not be suitable for your needs: while the
resulting layer will contain the specified number of points, such points
will fall inside the extent of the layer containing the polygons, so it
is not guaranteed that such points will actually fall inside the polygons.
Best regards,
Andrea Giudiceandrea
