This video is quite old and the basics are similar but it's easier today but be warned about the rise of QR Code Scams. View my updated video here: ruclips.net/video/VuWWbP4DU-k/видео.html
Trouble is that my eyesight is so poor even with my reading glasses I can't read the tiny writing on my mobile, so have to use a magnifier! So I have to wait till I get home or wait till I get somewhere I can sit down and get out said magnifier! But thanks anyway, Kevin, perhaps I can now make more use (carefully of course) of QR codes! ~R
I am applying for a job that needed me to go for further information on their QR Code. I had been avoiding using these things because I thought it would be a much bigger deal or I needed a more expensive phone or something (although I did put the reader on my Apple iPad), but only because my T-Mobil LG regular cell phone is thrashed! I did just what you said, I Googled QR Codes and they have readers recommended right there to download. I got the reader (which was free) and downloaded the information all in minutes, however.... it started with you and this video........ thanks immensely!
With the COVID identification needed if you go to a cafe and you have to show your code . Do they know automatically or do you have to set it up first. Thanks
please anybody help me to rearrange this qestion Q-1Below are the stages of a QR code jigsaw task. Put the stages in the correct order. 1-Create barcodes with a unique colour for each step. 2-Choose three or four recipes and save them to Pocket. 3-Give the learners a QR code with a web address link to the original recipe to check the answers. 4-Allocate each learner a colour. Explain that they each have steps of a recipe. Their task is to decode the steps and put them in order. Tell the class to find learners with the other colours and work together in groups. 5-Present a screenshot of the recipe web page that has been marked up with an app such as Awesome Screenshot to review language. 6-Show the codes or print them out. The learners scan the codes with their mobile devices and work in groups to put them in the right order.
Hey Kevin, thanks for this! This video is very helpful, simple, short, and to the point! I look forward to seeing more of your videos! You just earned a new subscriber! :)
If all you need is a website address that's just fine. Sometimes people put contact information into a bar code as an example. A QR code simply represents some 'text' of some kind in a machine readable image, that's it.
Is it possible to update the QR code on a app, like I sent a pic of QR code to someone for 1-time use, but I can see they have used it more than once, how can I block them from using again?
It's hard to say without knowing what you're scanning it with and what it's "suppose" to do. What are you scanning the QR code with, what app? Is it possible the QR code was not generated properly, therefore it simply will not work, no matter what you scan it with.
Great video new subscriber u use the term scan . I want to know how do you go about scanning something.. do i just put my phone camera on and hold it up by the code or do i need to presss something when the camera is on? This q r thing is new to me ....
i have question, QR code can hold more data than barcode, but why we need more data if we only use the QR code just for the website addresses? i mean, there are another example the QR code using for?
Hey I received a smart watch - your personal health intelligent housekeeper and it also read “ scan the QR CODE. I SCSN IT STILL I CANNOT USE THE WATCH. WHY.
You say they're but they all want my credit card info to activate. That sounds like a scam. Not giving my info out. Is there a site that DOESN'T ask for my CC info?
Unless the URL encoded is a 'tracker' there is no tracking. Like a link in an email. It's just a different 'format' of a link that's easy to quickly take photo of (instead of typing it using your keyboard).
hey i have a question ....there are loads of applications available in the market for reading/scanning/generating qr codes some of theqr codes ,but are these compatible with each other. In other words can i read a QR CODE generated by one app through some other app of a different manufacturer
So what's the point? So you have to have an app to read it and you have to have the camera open? I do most of my work on my laptop so I have to then transfer the scanned QR code to my laptop, so again I ask "What's the ******** point?
iPhones don't need apps today, just the camera itself. QR codes are meant for when you're out and about with only your phone, not for sitting down working on your laptop. Instead of someone having to fumble in a web browser typing in a long URL, they can simply scan the QR code and it will take them to the desire website/page.
Hello good day, please indicate how I can link a QR code reader with dropbox? I use dropbox but QRDroid and just worked each separately but I could not join. Thanks Greetings from colombia!!!
Greetings Kevin, If l had 50 QR's which l think goes to my gallery once photo'd how does one differentiate between all of them in that they look so similar. Do you think the future may be that incorporated in the code a unique signature ( e.g. kmft in your web address ) may be adopted. Otherwise l would have to open each one to see the content and draft up the reference. Thanks for the tutorial Regards Anthony
They’re meant to be used on the spot in time and not really for “saving”. You can save the link it takes you to so there is really no need to keep the QR code itself.
Not very helpful, I've down loaded 3 different codes this morning would scan a code then nothing couldn't get any of them to work. One wanted me to down load something else which I'm not sure if it was free so I didn't that was the last one I down loaded and deleted. This stuff isn't user friendly maybe it's just the Sam Sung phone which I havn't been impressed with since I got.
AND, Suspicious, you should be!!!!!!!!!!! I personally believe the vaccines contain "nano tech" which will store personal info as well as have the capability of tracking you!!!!!!!!!! BUT, what is more frightening is the threat of having your financial/banking info exposed to hackers!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll pass on this -- indefinitely!!!!!!!!!!!
terrible. How do I scan a code? I don't understand anything you said. NOT CLEAR AND SIMPLE> OH YOU said something about a camera. so I am supposed to point a camera at it. then what.
QR codes are binary, if you never understood QR codes, the black squares stand for the number 1, and the white stands for 0, soo if you ever see a message that says only ''100011001000101001001'' and you do not understand it, copy and paste it then go to a website called ''base64 deocde and encode'', copy and paste it into the box thingy then press ''decode'' it will show a little secret message..you can also do the same with numbers..decode this: aGV5ISBnbGFkIHlvdSBmb3VuZCBtZSBeXiBjb25ncmF0dWxhdGlvbnMgOik=
Ahh, so it's helpful if you have your phone but no pen and paper mainly. ? I can't believe I never knew this, but I am probably the last person my age to just now have a smartphone :) How cool that this is still relevant 7 (IIRC) years later, they must be pretty useful. Thank you so very much, one less question to ask my friends' 10 year old kiddos :0)

Thanks, Kev! Very useful and straight to the point advice!
If all you need is a website address that's just fine. Sometimes people put contact information into a bar code as an example. A QR code simply represents some 'text' of some kind in a machine readable image, that's it.
Thank you Kevin
This is very easy to understand and easy to apply on your phone
However,it's a little too long..
Thanks for the real life example with the billboard! Great with the unsophisticated folks.
Really helpful video Kevin, thank you...very clear on QR codes now 👍🏾😀
A QR code is a QR code. How you create them doesn't matter as long as it's a standard QR code. So use whatever app you want to create it or scan it.
Are you dead?
Short Vid with simple explanations without the high tech vocabularies. Thanks.
Thank you Kevin for your clear and simple explanation
Thanks for a basic explanation - shared to a group because I can understand you too.
Glad it was helpful!
How do you scan QR code that someone sent to your iphone?
The qr code is the derived form of the bar code, the rfid and the nfc are the more advance version of scan reading.
Is it possible to update the QR code on a app, like I sent a pic of QR code to someone for 1-time use, but I can see they have used it more than once, how can I block them from using again?
ThAnk you so much, you were a big help to a very old lady!
Hi Kevin, I need help I am trying to scan a QR code but it keeps saying error then there are numbers how do you read that
It's hard to say without knowing what you're scanning it with and what it's "suppose" to do. What are you scanning the QR code with, what app? Is it possible the QR code was not generated properly, therefore it simply will not work, no matter what you scan it with.
Great video new subscriber u use the term scan . I want to know how do you go about scanning something.. do i just put my phone camera on and hold it up by the code or do i need to presss something when the camera is on? This q r thing is new to me ....
Great video Kevin, explained perfectly 👌🏽 Subscribed:)
Bravo Kevin, thank you! Clear and Simple.
What is a universal product code?
Do U have to have a Scanner? I thoght U can just a Photo of it with Ur Camera. Is that correct?
i have question, QR code can hold more data than barcode, but why we need more data if we only use the QR code just for the website addresses? i mean, there are another example the QR code using for?
Thanks for information, afraid went over my heads.
What is a universal product code?
Thank you, it has already cleared up much for me.
By "scanning" are you using the camera?
Really clear - thank you 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
You said" hope that helps "yes it did, now I know what it's about,
Hey I received a smart watch - your personal health intelligent housekeeper and it also read “ scan the QR CODE. I SCSN IT STILL I CANNOT USE THE WATCH. WHY.
I scan the code and still cannot use the smart watch.
Very good explanation, thanks.
How do you apply for jobs with QR code?
what do you use to print them
You say they're but they all want my credit card info to activate. That sounds like a scam. Not giving my info out. Is there a site that DOESN'T ask for my CC info?
Your post helped this ol' Luddite
to a degree, thanks
Q: is QR code yet another tracker app? (silly, huh?)
Unless the URL encoded is a 'tracker' there is no tracking. Like a link in an email. It's just a different 'format' of a link that's easy to quickly take photo of (instead of typing it using your keyboard).
If someone wants to put a picture to customize a QR code, what spots in the box code do they need to not cover up?
Can you not do the exact same with your Phone's Cam rather than downloading an App to scan it??
scanned many mac qr codes with phone and dont know what to do once it is scanned. nothing happens
hey i have a question ....there are loads of applications available in the market for reading/scanning/generating qr codes some of theqr codes ,but are these compatible with each other. In other words can i read a QR CODE generated by one app through some other app of a different manufacturer

So what's the point? So you have to have an app to read it and you have to have the camera open?

Hello good day, please indicate how I can link a QR code reader with dropbox? I use dropbox but QRDroid and just worked each separately but I could not join. Thanks
Greetings from colombia!!!
I've seen QR codes on people's Twitter profile page.
I haven't figured out how to scan them, looks like I need two phones maybe.
Thanks Kevin. Now I remote my alarm from my mobile phone
Hmm, if not a url, what could it else be? And what would the scanner do with it?
It can be a PDF, image, Bitcoin, Business card, PayPal and much more... We, at www.qrstuff.com, offer more than 25 data types for free.
Greetings Kevin, If l had 50 QR's which l think goes to my gallery once photo'd how does one differentiate between all of them in that they look
so similar. Do you think the future may be that incorporated in the code a unique signature ( e.g. kmft in your web address ) may be adopted.

BTW I just subscribe to your channel, thanks for being on point & extremely understandable to someone who is computer illiterate 😜😂🤷🏻♀️
Thanks Kevin, really helpful.
Thank you for the info about Q R code.
Excellent video. Thank you
At my phone. They pop up a bar code and want me to scan. How I do it? I watched a few times of your video. Did show anything!
Thank you for the video Sir, very helpful
WELL DONE! Thx for clear explanation of QR codes! 😊
Not very helpful, I've down loaded 3 different codes this morning would scan a code then nothing couldn't get any of them to work. One wanted me to down load something else which I'm not sure if it was free so I didn't that was the last one I down loaded and deleted. This stuff isn't user friendly maybe it's just the Sam Sung phone which I havn't been impressed with since I got.
What's the qr code with a target in the middle
This is not how QR code works, it is just how to use QR code and benefit of using QR code.
the title says how to use qr codes
sO YOU HAVE TO HAVE AN APP TO SCAN A QR CODE, IS THAT IT?
Yes yes yes, but how do you actually scan it?? never realised that mobiles could scan anything. Use the camera and take a photo of the code??
Thanks Kevin, very informative......helped me for sure.
What is a universal product code?
Can we identity the identity of the person as we scan the QR code?
Ok got it..
Why do qr apps need access to my gps, contacts, and text messages?
I feel that the QR scanner should be built into safari or any mobile browser :)
It is now
**QR - Quantum Ridiculousness?**
My question is what does it reveal about my data & location, if I download and use this?
Thank you so much.
Great explanation.it helps.thank you
I don't understand what you mean by a mobile landing page?
Thank you man you’re very nice
I was looking for how to scan from a email on your phone. 🤔
If others have access to my private social media accounts they can then access it? Big brother .I’m suspicious.
AND, Suspicious, you should be!!!!!!!!!!! I personally believe the vaccines contain "nano tech" which will store personal info as well as have the capability of tracking you!!!!!!!!!! BUT, what is more frightening is the threat of having your financial/banking info exposed to hackers!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll pass on this -- indefinitely!!!!!!!!!!!
Cool,brilliant and awesome explanation stay cool man
Wow still relevant in 2021.
