A QR Code is basically a 2D barcode that contains data that can be read by a phone's camera. Most smartphones are capable of scanning a QR code with software (QR Code reader) that can be downloaded to their device. The phone's camera acts like a scanner, which reads the code and displays the information. In this case, it will display your contact information and anything else you choose to display on Varlani.com

7: I have scanned the QR code but the required paged does not load what could be the reason?
There could be a few reasons but here's a short list of what the possibility could be.
Good Bright Light: with a Steady hand and wait for the scanner to focus in on the Code. Depending on your Phone it may do it instantly or might take a few seconds longer.
Focus: If the QR code is still out of focus and the Camera is still trying to read it, try to help it a little to focus by moving the code further or closer toward the camera.
Internet connection : Are you (your device) connected to the internet? The QR scanner will not be able to pull up the website if you are not connected to the internet
The camera of the Device: Make sure the lens is clear, the Focus is sharp and you're in a bright environment.
Damaged Code: Are parts of the QR code clear, full and intact? If No, then it will not be possible for the QR code reader to read it.
Site Down: The website may be temporarily down for Maintenance

Media (Audio & Video)
1: How do I get the most seconds / Minutes out of my video?
There are 2 ways to get a Video up on your Profile. Either Upload a Video clip from your Device (Phone, Tablet, Laptop) or Link a Video from Youtube. all you have to do is copy the URL of the Video clip and paste it in the field. Terms and Conditions need to be complied with.
A: Uploading :
The limit is set at 5 MB. If you are using a Phone or Tablet or Laptop to record your Appeal (Video Message) it's recommended that you set your camera resolution to the lowest possible which is 640x480 VGA. That way the resolution is still good, but you can get more video time out of it. 5 MB gives you roughly around 11 seconds of Video time.
So in other words, the Higher the Resolution the Lower the time of the video. (see Image below)
B: Linking :
You can also link your video from YouTube.com. Just enter the complete URL of the video in the field displayed and No Restrictions on how long the video is or how high the Resolution is, because it's Youtube that's hosting the video, not Varlani.com
