Video QR code
Show how it works, tell your story, or say thank you. One scan plays your video on a clean page.
What is a video QR code?
A video QR code plays a video on a clean page when someone scans it: a how-to on packaging, a property tour or a thank-you message. Link a YouTube or Vimeo video, or upload your own MP4 or MOV up to 50 MB, and swap it any time without reprinting.
What’s inside the code

The code holds a short RelyQr link to a page with your video ready to play. Because the page lives online, you can change it any time and the printed code keeps working.

What happens when someone scans it

Always dynamic
Video codes are always dynamic: the video lives online, so you can replace it with a new version and the printed code plays the new one.
No watermark, and RelyQr codes never expire, on any plan. Static vs dynamic, explained
Where people use video QR codes

Printing a video QR code
On packaging and greeting cards, 2.5 to 3 cm wide. On posters and signs, about a tenth of the distance people scan from. QR code size chart
- Keep it under two minutes; people often watch standing up.
- Add captions: many people watch with the sound off.
Video QR code not working?
- The video doesn't start on its own
- Phones block autoplay with sound, so people tap play. Put the important part in the first seconds.
- The video won't play
- Uploads must be MP4 or MOV under 50 MB. For longer videos, put them on YouTube or Vimeo and paste the link.
- It's slow on mobile data
- Shorter videos load faster; under two minutes works best.
