How to scan a QR code

These days, most smartphones have built-in QR scanners within the native camera app. All you have to do is point your camera at a QR code to scan it and watch the video you’re looking for. If your device does not have a built-in QR scanner, you can download a third party QR code scanner app instead. Find out more about QR codes and how you can use them in your marketing.
