Frequently Asked Questions

What is a YouTube QR code?
A YouTube QR code is a URL QR code pointing to your YouTube channel URL (youtube.com/@yourchannel). It's ideal for content creators, educators, and businesses who want to grow their subscriber base and convert offline interactions into YouTube engagement.
How do I find my YouTube channel handle?
Go to your YouTube channel, and your handle will be in the URL (youtube.com/@yourhandle). Enter just the part after the @ symbol.
Do I include the @ symbol in my channel handle?
No, enter just your handle without the @ symbol. For example, if your URL is youtube.com/@mybrand, enter "mybrand".
Can I link to a specific video instead of my channel?
This generator creates links to your channel. For links to specific videos, use the URL QR code generator with the direct video URL.
Will the link open in the YouTube app?
If the scanner has YouTube installed, it will open in the app. Otherwise, it opens in a browser where they can still view and subscribe to your channel.
What if I don't have a custom handle yet?
YouTube channels created before handles were available may use channel IDs. Use the URL QR code generator with your full channel URL instead.
Can I track QR code scans?
Static QR codes don't have built-in tracking. Monitor new subscribers in YouTube Analytics, or add UTM parameters to track in Google Analytics.
