YouTube 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.

Channel, video or playlist

Link to your channel when you want subscribers, and to one video for a tutorial, a recipe or a product demo. A playlist suits a course or a series. The short youtu.be link from the Share button makes the simplest code.

Start at a set time

Video share links can carry a start time, for example ?t=90 for 1 minute 30 seconds. That's handy for a code next to a step in printed instructions. Test it with your phone before printing.

Questions

How do I get my YouTube QR code?

Can I find QR codes on YouTube videos?

Some creators show a QR code on screen, which you can scan with another phone's camera. To make your own, use the tool above.

Does a YouTube QR code expire?

No. It holds the link itself. It stops working only if the video is deleted or made private.
