QR codes for video & YouTube

A video explains in ten seconds what a paragraph cannot. A video code on packaging, signage or a manual plays a demo, tutorial or welcome message the instant someone scans it. Make it dynamic and you can swap in a fresh video without touching the print.

Common questions

Can I change the video later?+

Yes, with a dynamic code. Re-point it at a new video URL and every printed code follows, with no reprint.

Will it open in the YouTube app?+

On phones with YouTube installed it opens there. Otherwise it plays in the browser. Either way, no app is required to watch.
