QR code to a video

A QR code to a video leads straight to a clip: a product review, a how-to, an ad or a stream recording. Copy the link from YouTube, VK Video, RuTube or Dzen and paste it in — the phone camera reads the code and opens the video without searching by name.

Where it works

The code encodes a plain link, so it fits any video host:

• YouTube, VK Video, RuTube, Dzen, Vimeo
• A link to a playlist or a whole channel
• A live stream or a recorded broadcast

Why business needs it

• A how-to on packaging. The buyer scans the code on the box and sees how to assemble the product in a minute — fewer support questions and returns.
• A review on a price tag. A short video sells better than label text.
• An ad on a leaflet or stand. One scan and the person watches the clip instead of reading.

A static link

The code holds a link to the video, not the file itself. As long as the clip is available at that address, the code works. If you delete the video or change the link, you regenerate the code — so upload the clip where you plan to keep it.

How to make and check it

1. Open the video, tap "Share" and copy the link.
2. Paste it in and check that the code appeared in the preview.
3. Scan the code: the right video should open, not the service home page.

Match the colors to your brand, add a logo and download the code as PNG for a screen or SVG for large print without quality loss.

Swapping the clip without reprinting

A static code points to one link. If you plan to change the clip, upload it to a platform with a permanent address or use a short redirect link you can later repoint to a new video. That way you will not have to redo the sticker on the packaging or stand.
