QR code for a YouTube video vs your channel
They're two different links, and it's worth deciding which one you want before you print. A channel code (youtube.com/@yourhandle) is the right choice for packaging, business cards and merch — it survives every upload and always lands on your latest content with the Subscribe button in view. A video code is the right choice when the code sits next to the thing the video explains: a product manual, a recipe card, a tutorial insert, a conference slide. If you expect the destination to change — this month's promo video, a seasonal campaign — make it a dynamic QR code instead, so you can point the same printed code at a new video later without reprinting anything.
How to get the link for your channel or video
For a channel: open your channel page and copy the address — it looks like youtube.com/@yourhandle (you'll find your handle under Settings → Channel if you're unsure). For a video: tap Share under the video and copy the link, which works for regular uploads, Shorts and live replays alike. For a playlist: open the playlist, tap Share, and copy that link — handy for course-style content where you want people to start at lesson one. Paste whichever link you copied into the generator above and your code is ready.
