At a glance
- Maximum capacity
- A QR code holds at most 2,953 bytes (Version 40, level L). Even a one-second video is far larger, so the code holds a link to the video.

A QR code you can keep changing
The code above always opens the same thing. Every Liite page comes with its own QR code that counts scans, and you can change the page behind it any time without reprinting.
Video QR code generator: what to know
This page starts the QR code generator for this case. For every option and how to use it, see the QR code generator.
Where to host the video
YouTube and Vimeo stream well on phones and adapt to slow connections. An unlisted YouTube video is hidden from search but plays for anyone with the link. Google Drive works too, but large files can be slow to start.
MP4 from your phone
An MP4 or iPhone video has to be uploaded first; the code can't carry the file. Upload it, copy the share link, and paste it above. Check the link on a phone that isn't signed in to your accounts.
