Youtube is one of the most widely used and popular video streaming platforms available today. With over 2 billion active users per month, Youtube is able to turn independent content creators into household names. There is a lot of content on Youtube, with over 300,000 hours of video uploaded every hour. But luckily, parent company Google has made it as easy as it could be to share Youtube content with others. All of the content on Youtube can be shared via multiple social media platforms, as well as from copying and sending a URL link.
Since all of the content on Youtube can be shared via URL, then it can also be distributed easily through QR codes. QR codes are coded images that can be scanned with the camera of a smartphone or mobile device and linked to a variety of content, including images, documents, and in the case of Youtube, URL web addresses. It’s super easy to create QR codes for Youtube content and share them all over. In this piece, I will go over how to generate QR codes for Youtube content, as well as some tips on how to best distribute your codes.
You can use QR codes to share and distribute just about all of the content available on Youtube. This can include pieces created by your favorite creators or your own works. QR codes make it especially easy to share web addresses since you don’t need to type in a long URL or even copy it. All you need to do is hover over the code with your phone’s camera and tap the link when it pops up. QR codes can be created easily by copying the URL link into QR Codeveloper, or any other generator of your choice.
You can use Youtube QR codes for:
Effortlessly create, customize, and monitor dynamic QR codes.
Step 3: Select the pencil icon next to Preview to enter customization mode. Here you can further customize your code and even add a Youtube logo in the center.
When deciding where to put your code, it’s important to keep in mind that QR codes are scanned with the camera on a phone or mobile device. Therefore, they must be placed on a flat surface with no warping so that the camera can easily read it. Posters, fliers, stickers, and business cards are among the best places to place a QR code. Uneven surfaces like telephone poles or warped walls would not be a smart location to place a QR code, as the code can become distorted and unreadable.
The best places to physically place a QR code are:
With the tools available on QR Codeveloper, as well as other code generators, you can monitor the usage of any code you create. This can include how many times a code has been scanned, where it has been scanned, on what device, using what browser, and more. With these tools you can figure out which codes are reaching the most people and where to focus any advertising efforts.
With QR Codeveloper you can monitor:
As you can see, it is very easy to create unique QR codes for just about any piece of content on Youtube. From single videos, playlists, content creators, songs, movies, and channels. Creating a scannable QR code for Youtube content is as easy as copying the share link and pasting it into your chosen code generator. Likely, you will spend more time designing the cosmetics of your code than actually creating the code.
So if you have some content on Youtube you want to share via a poster or a flier or whatever, go ahead and make a QR code for it now! You’ll be surprised and pleased by how simple and easy the process is.
