What is a LinkedIn QR Code?

A LinkedIn QR Code directs anyone who scans the QR Code to a specific LinkedIn profile URL.

The LinkedIn QR code makes it easy to meet someone offline, and stay in touch with them on LinkedIn.

This feature provides a simple and efficient way to find LinkedIn members, and then connect with them by quickly scanning a QR code.

Note: Each LinkedIn member has their own unique QR code
