Step 1
Use the final video URL
YouTube, Vimeo, and hosted video URLs all work if the viewer can open them without special permissions.

QR code for video links
Use a video QR code when printed material should open a YouTube, Vimeo, tour, training, or testimonial video.
- Creates a simple QR code for public and unlisted video URLs.
- Keeps long video links off printed handouts and signs.
- Supports dynamic replacement when a video may move later.
Need to swap the video later?
Use a dynamic video campaign when flyers, signs, badges, or property materials may outlive the current video URL.

How I use it
I use video QR codes when a printed item needs to explain something faster than text: a property walkthrough, setup guide, testimonial, or training clip.
Step 2
Generate the QR code
Paste the video link and download the PNG. Keep the printed call-to-action plain so people know a video opens after the scan.
Step 3
Test privacy and playback
Unlisted videos are fine when the URL opens. Private videos, age gates, broken embeds, and region limits are not fine for printed material.
Print check
- Use short copy like Scan to watch the walkthrough.
- Check that captions or audio make sense for the setting.
- Test the video on mobile data before printing.
- Use a dynamic QR code if the video may be replaced later.
Mistakes I check for
- Using a private video URL.
- Printing a video QR code before the final edit is approved.
- Sending customers to a page with autoplay, popups, or cookie friction.
