Troubleshooting Camera Scanning
Camera permission was denied
Open your browser's site settings (padlock icon in the address bar), find Camera, and switch it to Allow. Then reload the page.
The QR code is not detected
Ensure the entire code is within the frame, the surface is not at a severe angle, and there is sufficient light. Move closer to increase apparent code size.
The live feed is blurry
On phones, tap the screen to manually focus. On laptops, clean the webcam lens. Some older webcams have fixed-focus lenses that struggle at close range.
No camera appears in the selector
Another app may be holding the camera exclusively. Close video-conferencing software, other browser tabs with camera access, or virtual webcam applications.
Camera Privacy & Security
The scanner uses the browser's getUserMedia API to access your camera. Video frames are decoded in-browser using the ZXing-wasm and jsQR libraries. At no point are frames or decoded data transmitted to any server.
