How to Make a QR Code for a YouTube Video or Channel
Create a free QR code that opens your YouTube video or channel: copy the link, make the code, add your logo, and test the scan before you print.
What you need
A YouTube QR code is a normal QR code that stores a YouTube link. When someone scans it, their phone opens the video or channel in the YouTube app if it is installed, or in the browser if not.
Steps
Follow these steps:
- Open your video or channel on YouTube and copy the link from the Share button.
- Open QR Vibe and paste the link into the Website link box, or use the social media generator.
- Add your logo and brand colors in the Logo and Style tabs.
- Wait for the scan check to pass.
- Download PNG or SVG and test the final design on a phone.
Video link or channel link?
A single video link is good for a campaign, product demo or event. A channel link stays useful for longer, because you can keep adding videos and the printed code still leads to your latest content. For long-lived printed material, the channel link is usually the safer choice.
Tips to get more scans
Add a short call to action next to the code, such as Watch the demo. People scan more when they know what they will get. Print the code large enough to scan from where people will stand, and leave a clear blank margin around it.
