Frequently asked questions
Does this YouTube QR code expire?
No. This is a static QR code: the information is stored inside the pattern itself, not behind a redirect on our servers. It keeps working for as long as the printed code is readable, with no subscription, scan limit or watermark.
Can I make the video start at a certain time?
Yes. In YouTube choose Share, tick "Start at", copy that link and paste it here. The timestamp is kept in the code.
What if I delete or make the video private?
The code will still open the link, but viewers will see that the video is unavailable. Keep the video public or unlisted for as long as the code is in use.
Should I link to my channel or a video?
Link a specific video when the print is about one topic (a product or recipe); link your channel when the goal is to gain subscribers.
