Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — the extension monitors any YouTube video you watch and detects QR codes as they appear on screen.
No. The extension detects QR codes in real time as the video plays.
Most likely yes — the extension has no hard dependency on YouTube specifically, so it should work on most video hosting platforms. That said, we can't guarantee compatibility with every site, since each platform implements its video player differently and our primary focus has been YouTube.
It depends on the video source. YouTube videos embedded on other sites — yes, those should work fine. Videos from other sources, including files hosted directly on a server rather than a video platform — in most cases yes, since the extension works with standard HTML video elements. However, we can't guarantee compatibility with every possible implementation.
No — this extension is designed for YouTube videos only. To scan QR codes from images, webpages, or files, use our other extension: Kod — QR Scanner.
Yes. All QR detection happens locally in your browser. No video frames or data are ever sent to any server.
