How does a Telegram QR code work?

A Telegram QR code encodes a direct link to your Telegram account or channel (t.me/yourusername). When scanned, it opens the Telegram app or a browser where people can message you or join your channel.

Do I include the @ symbol in the username?

No — just enter your username without the @. For example, enter "mybusiness" not "@mybusiness". We format the link as t.me/mybusiness automatically.

Does it work for Telegram channels and groups too?

Yes. If your channel or group has a public username (t.me/channelname), just enter that username and it will link directly to the channel.

Where is the best place to use a Telegram QR code?

Business cards, storefronts, menus, flyers, and customer support materials are ideal. It's great for businesses using Telegram as a support or community channel.

Does the person scanning need Telegram installed?

No. If Telegram is installed, it opens the app. If not, it opens web.telegram.org in a browser so they can still start a conversation.
