YouTube QR Code Generator – Link to a Video or Channel
A YouTube QR code opens a video, playlist or channel the moment it is scanned. It brings printed material to life: a product box that links to a how-to video, a poster that links to your showreel or a brochure that links to a virtual tour.
It is a URL QR code, so paste any YouTube link you like.
How to create a YouTube QR code
- Copy the link of the video, playlist or channel from YouTube.
- Paste it into the URL type, or choose Social media in the free tool and pick YouTube.
- Add your logo and colours.
- Download, print and test on mobile data as well as WiFi.
Where it pays off
- Product packaging with demos and set-up guides.
- Real estate brochures with video tours.
- Training handouts with lesson recordings.
Tips for a QR code that scans first time
- Use a dynamic code if you may replace the video later.
- Add a short line that tells people what they will watch and how long it is.
