Creating a QR code that leads someone to a mobile video is quick and simple to create. QR code videos are free to create with the tools listed in this article. To create a QR code linking to a mobile video is as simple as these easy to follow steps below:
Step 1: Upload/Pick your Video for your QR Code
The easiest and most cost effective (meaning free) way to do this is to upload your video to YouTube. This will enable it to work with most phones with QR code readers. Once your video is uploaded,find the URL to your video. You can find this by clicking the share button under video and copying the “http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXXXXXXXX” link (see image below) and saving it for a later step.
Step 2: Create the QR Code Linking To Your YouTube Video
For the next step, we will use my favorite QR code generator, GoQR.me, its free. Once you are there, select the URL tab and insert your YouTube link from step 1.
Step 3: Test Your QR Code Link To Your YouTube Video
This step is the easiest. Pickup your mobile phone and open up your favorite QR code reader. Scan your QR code video link that you just created. Your QR code reader should recognize your link to your video and offer to open it up in the YouTube app.
Step 4: Get Your QR Code Out
