QR Codes to Link Videos

WestSide714 · Jul 17, 2023

I did a forum search for QR Codes but nothing came up at all.
Do any of you link a QR code to a YouTube video and provide it to a (potential) client? It looks like there are subscription sites for QR but I'm not sure what to look for or how much to pay.
I don't want to send a link to my YouTube drone page, just a particular YouTube video to solicit interest.

QRcodemonkey is a free QR code generator. You can download a .PNG file, or just copy clip it using the Windows snipping tool.

I love QR Codes! Adobe Express has a free QR code generator, Adobe Express.

Just google it. There are many free QR code creators out there. Use them all the time.

Surely the far easier answer is to have your YT videos as Unlisted and then just share the link of a particular video with the person you want to watch it.

A QR code adds complication for the user – they need a scanning app, and the whole QR thing isn't designed for desktop use, it's designed to be scanned by a mobile device.

I use the unlisted feature all the time on Youtube - it is handy.
However, a QR code would be a good idea on the back of a business card that you might just give out to prospective clients to watch some promo video that you created to show your areas of expertise.

This is a standard feature in Chrome. On the very right of the URL line is a "share" icon (box with a right-pointing arrow). Click it and select the "Create QR Code" link. Just use it when you're on the page of your video.
