Frequently asked questions

Can I link to one video instead of my channel?+

Yes. Choose the Website URL type and paste the full video link from the address bar or the Share button.

Will the code open the YouTube app?+

On phones with the YouTube app installed, links normally open there; otherwise they open in the browser.

Can I link to a playlist?+

Yes. Open the playlist, copy its address and use it with the Website URL type.

Is the code safe to use on products?+

Yes. It only contains the link. Test it after printing to make sure it scans at the printed size.

Bring video to print

A printed page cannot play a video, but a QR code can send the reader to one in two seconds. Product makers link to set-up tutorials, teachers link to lessons and event organisers link to highlights.

Smart uses

  • Product manuals: a code on the box linking to a how-to video reduces support questions.
  • Restaurants and shops: link to the story of your brand or a recipe video.
  • Presentations: let the audience open a demo on their own phones.
  • Posters and flyers: promote your newest upload.

Video link tips

  • Use the Share button to copy a clean link, and add a start time if the useful part begins later.
  • Keep your landing video short and mobile friendly.
  • Check subtitles are available for people who watch without sound.
