What a Zoom QR code does
A Zoom QR code joins your meeting from a phone in one scan: no meeting ID to type, no passcode to copy. It’s the quickest way to get people from a printed agenda, a poster or a slide into a call.
Teachers and lecturers use them for online office hours, community groups and churches for hybrid meetings, event organisers for virtual rooms, and conferences to let people in another room follow a session.
How to make a Zoom QR code
- Copy the join link. In Zoom, copy the invite link of the meeting or webinar, ideally the one with the passcode included.
- Paste it into Website address. The Zoom logo is added automatically.
- Keep it dynamic. This page starts with a dynamic code, so you can paste in next week’s link without reprinting.
- Make it yours. Pick colours and a frame like “Join online”.
- Save and test. Save the code, scan it with your phone, and check it opens the right meeting.
Design and print tips
- Print the time and time zone next to the code, so people know when to scan.
- Use a recurring meeting for weekly sessions: one link, one code, no updates needed.
- After the meeting, point it somewhere useful, such as the recording or next month’s session.
- On slides, leave it up for latecomers, at least a metre wide on the screen.
Static or dynamic?
We recommend: dynamic
Meeting links change: new sessions, new rooms, a recording afterwards. A dynamic code lets you update it in seconds and keep the same printed code, and you can set it to switch on a date. It’s free and never expires.
