If you get a blank screen when trying to use your phone's camera to scan the QR code on a device, try the following tips:

  • Clear the app and restart it: We have sometimes seen some issues where suspending the app and then resuming (e.g. switching back to Home screen or to another app) can cause this issue. You might try force closing the app and relaunching to see if it solves the issue.
  • Verify Camera permissions set to Ask or Allow: The new web app uses the camera permissions and if this is set to Deny, you may get no notification that the camera has been blocked. Verify permissions are OK for camera usage:

 

Verify Camera Permissions (iOS)

    1. On your iOS device, open Settings, select Safari and then select Camera.

    4. If you are still having troubles, try setting the dashboard site settings to Allow so that it will always have permission to use the camera during QR code scanning operations.
