| How To Get Qr Code From Teams |
Hold on a Sec, Why Even Use a QR Code for Teams?
There are a few reasons, my friend. Maybe you're inviting a guest who's a total tech newbie (bless their hearts). Perhaps you're welcoming a new employee who's still deciphering the company email labyrinth (we've all been there). Or, maybe you just like the challenge of a good QR code hunt (no judgment here, we all have our quirks).
Important Note: Currently, there's no built-in way to generate a QR code directly within the Teams app itself. But fear not, there are still ways to get your hands on that sweet, sweet code.
The Great QR Code Caper: Here's Your Battle Plan
-
Unearth the Meeting Link: Your first stop is the meeting you want to transform into a QR code. Find that meeting in your calendar and boldly click on it.
-
Copy That Link Like It's Going Out of Style: Once you're in the meeting details, look for the meeting link. This will be a long, strange-looking string of letters and numbers. Don't worry, it's not gibberish, it's the key to your QR code kingdom. Now, copy that link with all your might!
-
Enter the QR Code Colosseum: Since Teams doesn't have its own built-in QR code generator, you'll need to enlist the help of a third-party website. There are many out there, but some popular options include Bitly or TinyURL. Head over to one of these websites and prepare to unleash your inner QR code wrangler.
-
Paste the Link and Unleash the QR Code Kraken: On the chosen website, find the spot where you can paste your copied meeting link. Do it with confidence! Then, look for the magic button that says "Generate QR Code" or something similar. Click it, and voila! A beautiful, pixellated masterpiece – your very own QR code – should appear before your eyes.
-
Save the Code, Share the Glory: Now that you've braved the QR code caverns, it's time to claim your prize. Right-click the QR code and save it as an image. Then, share it with your guest or new employee however you see fit – email, text message, carrier pigeon (hey, no judgment).
Congratulations! You've successfully navigated the QR code labyrinth and emerged victorious.
