New QR Code Type: Audio

Published on Nov 18, 2025

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.

Audio Player Example

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.
