StreamYard lets you create branded QR codes that viewers can scan to follow your social profiles, visit a website, or join your community — directly from your live stream or recording.
How to add a QR code to your stream
- From inside your StreamYard studio, click Widgets on the right panel.
- Scroll to the QR Code section and click the + New QR code button to open the QR code modal.
- Enter the URL or destination you want viewers to reach.
- Use the Logo picker to choose which brand logo appears in the center of the code.
- Optionally toggle Show Name to display a label beneath the QR code.
- Customize colors using the Foreground, Background, and Finder pattern color pickers — or let StreamYard sync them automatically to your Brand color.
- Click Add to stage to display the QR code on your broadcast.
QR codes in Reusable Studios
QR codes are persisted across sessions in a Reusable Studio. Once configured, your QR code settings — including logo and colors — are saved and available the next time you enter the studio.
