What a YouTube code does

A YouTube code points at a video, a playlist or your channel. It opens in the YouTube app when installed.

Because it is dynamic, the printed manual can always point at the latest version of the video.

Questions

Can I change the video after printing?
Yes. Point the code at a new video and the printed manual or poster opens that one.
Can it start at a timestamp?
Yes. Use a YouTube link with the start time in it.
YouTube or a video code — which should I use?
YouTube if the video is already there and you want its player and reach. A video code hosts the file for you, with no ads or suggested videos after it.
Can I see how many people scanned?
Yes. Scans are counted with time, city and device.
