A video QR code takes people directly to a how-to video, product demo or advert. It works especially well on packaging where a written manual would be harder to follow than a short clip.

Frequently asked questions
- Does the video play inside the camera app?
- No. The phone opens the browser or the relevant app — YouTube or TikTok — to play it.
- Can I swap the video after printing?
- Yes, because this is a dynamic code. Change the video link whenever you like and the printed code stays valid.
- Can I track views through the code?
- You can see scan counts in your analytics; view counts themselves live on the platform hosting the video.
