Want to put 'meeting link' on my business card

Hi. 

 

I'm not overly tech savey.

 

I want to use a QR on my business card for my recurring weekly meeting.  Not sure which url to use.

 

(1)  In the My Meetings area and clicking on a meeting there is and 'invite link'.

 

(2)  Once in a live meeting under 'Particpant' you can get an 'invite link'.  

 

Those two links are different from one another.  

 

Should I only use the link (1) for my QR code on my business card?

 

Thanks in advance.  I hope this makes sense.

Hello @LHiatt,

 

The real issue you will run into is that the QR code on your card will provide a static link to a dynamic object (i.e. your meeting ID) and I don't imagine you'll want to print new business cards on a regular basis.

 

I would suggest you do the following.

 

Establish a Bit.ly Account (FREE) - https://bitly.com/pages/landing/free-plan

This will allow you to have a fixed bit.ly URL that you can then generate a QR code right from the bit.ly website for your business card. You will also get basic usage analytics on users who scan your QR code.

(NOTE: I have no affiliation with Bit.ly, just had good success using service.)

 

Set your bit.ly URL (QR Code link) to redirect to you meeting invite link.

 

If you follow this methodology,  you will now have the option to update your meeting invite link if it ever needs to be changed without having to re-print you business cards.

 

I also included a screenshot of the correct meeting link to use for your bit.ly/QR code.

 

Hope this helps (If so, mark this as solved.. thx)
