New QR Code Type: Audio
We're excited to introduce a new QR Code type on Twilee — Audio QR Codes.
This feature allows you to share audio content instantly through a single scan or link. Whether it's a podcast episode, music track, voice message, or audio guide, Audio QR Codes provide a seamless listening experience on any device.
What Are Audio QR Codes?
An Audio QR Code displays your audio content on a beautiful, mobile-friendly hosted page with a built-in player. When someone scans your code or clicks your link, they're instantly taken to a page where they can:
- Play and pause your audio
- See track progress with a visual timeline
- View your audio title and description
- Read additional context or show notes
- Access related links or resources
The audio player is clean, fast, and works perfectly on all devices — no app downloads or special software required.
