Use a permanent server invite
Discord has no profile QR — you link a server invite (discord.gg/xxxx). The catch: default invites expire after 7 days, which silently breaks a printed code.
Before you generate the QR, set the invite to never expire (Edit invite → Expire after: Never, Max uses: No limit). Then the code keeps working on flyers, streams, and merch indefinitely.
Good places for a Discord code
- Stream overlays and end screens
- Class, club, and community flyers
- Event booths and slides
Frequently asked questions
Why did my Discord QR stop working?
Almost always an expired invite — Discord invites default to 7 days. Create a permanent invite (Expire after: Never) and regenerate the code once from that link.
My invite link expired — do I need a new code?
Not if you use the trackable option: re-point the same printed code to a fresh invite. Or set the invite to never expire in Discord before making a static code.
Where's my invite link?
In Discord, right-click your server or channel → Invite People → copy the discord.gg/… link.
