# QR Code Scanning & Sharing
SIMKL has introduced a powerful way to bridge the gap between your desktop browsing and your mobile viewing experience.
With the latest QR Code Scanning and Sticky Share Bar features, moving your favorite show from a computer screen to your TV or phone is faster than ever.

## Instant QR Code Generation
Every page on SIMKL now effectively has its own "digital passport."
By hovering over the middle Share icon on the sticky bar (or the Share button near the title), a scannable QR code will instantly pop up.
* Mobile Sync: Point your phone camera at the QR code to open that exact page on your mobile device instantly.
* The "Watch Now" Shortcut: This is the ultimate hack for home cinema.\
Find a movie on your desktop, scan the QR code with your phone, and tap the "Watch Now" link for Netflix, Apple TV+, or Disney+. You can then cast the video directly from your phone to your Smart TV.
* Speed: It’s the fastest way to go from "browsing" to "watching on the big screen."
## The Sticky Footer Share Bar
No more scrolling to the bottom of a long page just to find a share link.
For desktop users with a screen height greater than 980px, a new sharing bar is pinned to the bottom of the interface.
* How it works: Simply hover your mouse over the bottom edge of the screen, and the sharing buttons (Email, Reddit, WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook) will slide up into view.
* The Benefit: Instant access to sharing tools whether you are at the top of a movie page or halfway through a long custom list.
## Full Control: Disabling the Feature
While the sticky share bar is designed for convenience, SIMKL keeps the experience customizable. If you prefer a cleaner interface without the footer bar, you can easily turn it off:
1. Navigate to your Settings.
2. Locate the "Disable Features" section.
3. Find Sticky Footer Share Bar.
4. Change the dropdown to "Don't pin footer share bar to the bottom of the screen" and save your changes.

By integrating QR codes directly into the desktop workflow, SIMKL has removed the friction of manual searching on different devices.
Whether you're sending a list to a friend via the share bar or casting a new premiere to your TV via a quick scan, your media library is now truly interconnected.
