How to make a YouTube QR code

Step-by-step instructions to create your customized, scannable QR code.

Paste the link into the generator and choose colours.

04

Where it works

Popular and practical placements where customers and scanners interact most.

Coaching and tuition centres sharing lesson videos.

Product demos on boxes and manuals.

How-to videos for machines and equipment.

Wedding and function invitations with a video message.

Restaurants and shops showing a short intro or tour.

Tips

Practical guidelines for scannability, phone camera reliability, and clean printing.

Use the share link from YouTube, not the embed link.
Add a start time to skip an intro.
Say what the video is and how long it runs. People scan when they know what they get.
Use a dynamic code if you may swap the video later.
Keep captions on, since many people watch without sound.
