QR scanner

A built-in camera scanner is available from every page of the portal — the barcode button in the top bar. This section explains how to use it, what to do with browser permissions, and why the scanner does not work on http sites.

What's inside

• How to open the scanner and aim the camera.
• Granting camera access the first time you use it.
• Why the scanner works only over HTTPS (a browser requirement).
• Which pages let scanning actually do something (depends on the context).
• What to do if the scanner does not open or cannot find a camera.

The scanner uses the device's rear camera; on laptops without a rear camera the front one works too, but recognition quality is lower.
