From the WiFi Network to WhatsApp groups, you can now share almost everything on the internet via QR Codes. Recently, the YouTube app for Android & iOS got a new feature that allows you to share channels using QR Codes.
Sharing YouTube Channels via QR Code
Sharing a YouTube channel using a QR code has quite a few benefits. If you do so, viewers can scan the code with their phones and be redirected instantly to the channel.
If you have your own YouTube channel, you can share it using a QR Code for ease of access. Having a QR code for your YouTube channel can also serve as an effective marketing tool since QR codes can be printed on business cards.
Once you create a QR code, you can send it to your friends or anyone else you want to share a YouTube channel with. The end user just needs to scan the QR code with their phone’s camera or via the Google Lens app.
If you have your own YouTube channel and want to share it with others using a QR Code, follow these steps. Here’s what you need to do.
1. First, make sure your YouTube app for Android or iPhone is up to date. You can get the app updated from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
2. Launch the YouTube app and switch to the You tab at the bottom right corner.
3. You will now see your channel. Scroll through the options at the top and tap on Share Channel.
4. On the Share menu, tap on the QR Code.

6. Now, you just need to send this QR code to your friends and ask them to scan it with their phone’s camera or Google Lens app. They will be instantly redirected to your YouTube channel.
The steps to share YouTube channels you don’t own using a QR code are slightly different. Here’s how you can share other YouTube Channels using a QR Code on Android or iPhone.
