How to Create a Free Zoom Meeting QR Code
A meeting QR code lets people join a Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams call by scanning, instead of typing a long link or meeting ID. Put it on a printed agenda, a meeting-room door, a webinar slide or a class handout.
- Copy the invite link from Zoom, Google Meet or Teams (see below) and paste it into the field above.
- Add a title such as "Scan to join the weekly standup" so people know what the code is for.
- Download the code, then scan it to check it opens the meeting.
Where to Find Your Meeting Link
- Zoom: open the meeting under Meetings and choose "Copy invitation" or "Copy invite link". A link that ends in
?pwd=…includes the passcode, so people join without typing it. - Google Meet: open the event in Google Calendar and copy the
meet.google.com/…link, or use "Copy joining info" inside the call. - Microsoft Teams: open the meeting in your Teams calendar and choose "Copy link".
Make the Code Last
The QR code never expires, but meeting links can. Zoom removes a one-off meeting 30 days after its date, so for a code that stays on a wall or in a printed handout, use a recurring meeting or your Personal Meeting ID. A Google Meet link from a repeating calendar event keeps working for as long as the event does.
Keep Your Meeting Safe
- Anyone who scans can join, so turn on the waiting room or lobby for public codes.
- Don't post a code with the passcode built in anywhere strangers can see it.
- Use a separate meeting for public events instead of your Personal Meeting ID.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it work with Google Meet and Microsoft Teams?
Yes. Paste any meeting link: Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Webex or others. The code opens the link in the meeting app or browser.
Does the meeting QR code expire?
The code never expires, but the meeting link might. Use a recurring meeting or your Personal Meeting ID for codes that stay in print.
Can the code include the Zoom passcode?
Yes. Zoom invite links that end in ?pwd=… carry the passcode, so people join without typing it. Leave it out for codes in public places.
Will it open the Zoom app?
On phones with Zoom installed, yes. Otherwise the link opens in the browser, which offers to install the app or join from the web.
Is my meeting link stored on your servers?
No. The QR code is generated entirely in your browser. Your meeting link is never sent to or stored on any server.
