Can QR Codes work when placed in a video? And can they drive you to additional video content? Wonder no more!

  • The QR code worked with the barcode scanner on my HTC Desire HD but when I clicked to open the youtube link in the official youtube app i received the message "There was a problem while playing"

  • @Ltgig That's interesting. I would think that the Android platform would handle this with ease. I don't have an Android phone myself, but I will have to test it out with a friend to see what the problem is. I know it is working for others since the video the QR code links to have about 100+ views and the only way to get to it is through the QR code.

  • This has LOTS of possibilities. How did you get the QR code to show in the video ?

  • @ChampionMobile I thought it would be cool to use QR codes to drive people to specialized video messages, so I'm glad you do too. As for your question, I used a QR code generator to make the QR code (YouTube won't allow URLs in the comments, but if you Google "QR Code Generator" I used the first one that appears). From there I added the QR code graphic to my video in my video editing program (I used Sony Vegas for this particular video but most editing programs will allow you to add pictures.)

  • LOL!

    Classic!

    How did you do the animation?

    You're brilliant man!

  • @GideonShalwick Glad you liked the video! I picked up a copy of Anime Studio Pro, so you'll be seeing more of my digital sidekick in the next round of videos.

  • yes

  • use qrcode.kaywa.com

    or invx.com to generate these

  • SHIT IT WORKS!!! i did this with my ipad!!

  • I have seen QR codes in Canada but the problem is that they are in advertising that says scan the qr code on the ad for more advertising. Absolutely stupid and who would want to do that.

    Besides, I don't have an iphone lol

  • yeah works on my iphone 4s

  • I have an HTC Desire as well. While I can easily get to YouTube Videos by scanning the code, I am having difficulty with a QR code that plays a video from my website. From my computer, no problem. I even set up the web page to auto play the video, but I cannot seem to get the video to play from my phone. No error messages, just a blank screen after I click on "go to browser". Again, from my computer, everything flows perfectly. Any thoughts?

  • nice im in a video of yours that says can :D okay cool

  • yes

    

  • it lead me to a vid of you saying they work :D

  • @ChampionMobile it was awesome in that code
