Will it open in the YouTube app?
On most phones, scanning a youtube.com link opens the video directly in the YouTube app if it is installed.
Can I link to a Shorts video?
Yes. Paste the Shorts URL (youtube.com/shorts/…) just like any video link.
Can I track how many people scanned?
Free static codes aren't tracked. For scan analytics, use a dynamic QR code.
