Before You Start

  • NexaLink app installed
  • Digital business card created
  • Zoom account
  • Image editor (Canva or similar)

Step-by-Step Guide

1

Download Your QR Code

In NexaLink, go to your card and tap Download QR Code to save a high-resolution image.

Tip: Choose the PNG format for the best quality on screen
2

Create a Background Image

Use any image editor (Canva works great) to add your QR code to a professional background image.

Tip: Place the QR code in the bottom right corner so it does not interfere with your video
3

Size the QR Code

Make the QR code large enough to scan from a screen (about 15-20 percent of the image width).

Tip: Test by trying to scan it from a second device while on a Zoom call
4

Upload to Zoom

In Zoom Settings, go to Backgrounds and Filters, then add your custom background image.

Tip: Upload both a standard and a green-screen-optimized version
5

Test in a Call

Start a test Zoom call and verify the QR code is visible and scannable from another device.

Tip: Ask a colleague to test scanning from their screen to confirm it works

Frequently Asked Questions

Do recipients need the NexaLink app?

No. When someone scans your QR code, taps your NFC, or clicks your link, your card opens as a mobile-optimized webpage in their browser. They can save your contact directly — no download required.

Can I update my card after sharing it?

Yes. Change your job title, phone number, or company and every person who received your card sees the update instantly. No reprints, no re-sharing — one card, always current.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 1 digital card, basic templates, QR code sharing, and 10 card scans per month — with no time limit or credit card required. Upgrade to Pro ($5.99/month) for unlimited cards and NFC sharing.

How is this different from a paper business card?

Paper cards can't be updated, don't track engagement, and get lost in pockets. A digital card stays current, shows you who viewed it, and lets recipients save your contact in one tap.

What sharing methods are available?

Five options: QR code (they scan it), NFC tap (phone-to-phone, Pro feature), direct link (text or email), Apple Wallet, and Google Wallet. Pick whichever fits the moment.
