When to use a youtube QR code
- Product packaging linking to a setup or assembly video
- Instruction sheets, where showing beats describing
- Posters and shop displays running a demo
- Business cards for creators and musicians
Before you print
Link the video, not the search
Copy the address from the video itself. A search link can show different results later, and the video you meant may not be first.
Make sure it works on mute
People scan in shops and on trains. If your video only makes sense with sound, add captions or most scans are wasted.
Use a dynamic code for anything printed
Videos get replaced and re-uploaded. A dynamic code lets you point at the new one without reprinting the packaging.
Common questions
Can I link to a specific moment in a video?
Yes. Copy the link with the start time included and the code opens at that point.
Will it open the YouTube app or a browser?
The app if it is installed, the browser if not. Either way the video plays.
