Channel, group, or direct chat
Point the code at the right Telegram destination: t.me/yourchannel for a public channel, an invite link for a private group, or t.me/username to open a direct chat with you.
Scanning opens Telegram straight to Join or Message — great for posters, event booths, and creator packaging where you want people in your channel in one tap.
What you can link
- A public channel or group (t.me/name)
- An invite link for a private group
- A direct chat to your account
Frequently asked questions

In the group, open Manage Group → Invite Links, copy the invite link, and paste it here. Anyone who scans can join without you sharing the group publicly.

Does it work for private groups?
Yes — use the group's invite link; scanning opens the join prompt.
