The secret is encoded straight into the code — everything stays in your browser, but treat the finished QR like a password.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear, direct answers to common questions about generating and deploying QR codes.
No. The code opens a channel or content URL. The viewer must be signed in and intentionally confirm subscription through YouTube's interface.
Use a video URL for one specific viewing task and a channel URL for long-term creator promotion. Use a playlist when the audience should follow an ordered or themed collection.
YouTube's Share control can create a link with a starting timestamp. Copy that official link and test it in both a signed-out browser and the mobile app before publishing.
The static symbol does not expire, but its destination can be deleted, made private, restricted, or otherwise become unavailable. Maintain and periodically verify long-lived printed links.
It does not bypass access controls. Private content requires an authorized account. Anyone who obtains an unlisted URL may be able to view and reshare it, so do not treat unlisted as confidential.
