Converting a YouTube video URL into a QR code helps people to open and watch your video much faster and easily. Instead of typing out a full URL of your YouTube video, you can redirect your scanners straight to your YouTube video when they scan your QR code. This will help boost your YouTube channel’s visibility and can also helpful for users to access product tutorials or other videos much faster. Here is how you can make a QR Code for YouTube videos on the Web, Android, and iOS.
How to Make QR Code for YouTube Video
1. Mevie.love
This is a web app that provides the easiest way to generate QR codes. If you log in to the service, you even have the option to change the video URL later.
1. To create a QR code for YouTube video with mevie.love, just copy the URL of the YouTube video that you want to convert into a QR code.
2. Now open Mevie.love YouTube QR Code Generator. Just paste the URL in the YouTube URL option and give a title to the URL to recognize it later.
3. You can also add a password if you want to keep the video private or you can skip by selecting No and then click on Submit to create a QR code.
4. Just right-click on the QR code to save it as an image and share it.
The app has a few downsides too. The QR code will not open the YouTube page directly. Instead, it will open mevie.love website with your selected YouTube video embedded in it. Also, it takes anywhere from a minute to an hour for the QR code to start working as Mevie has to create a page especially for your YouTube video.
2. FlowCode
Unlike Mevie, Flowcode provides more customization options and directly opens your YouTube video. Additionally, it will also provide you some basic insights about how many people how opened the video, time duration, etc.
