Users not showing up on "Get Scanner" list

A user will only show up if they have both "Works at events" checked and a mobile number listed on their profile:

Not scanning?

There could be several reasons why you can’t scan a visitors’ phone:

  • Is the visitor showing you their mobile entry pass email?

  • Fix: Scroll up and down to check it is an email.

  • Is the visitor’s screen not bright enough?

  • Fix: Increase the screen brightness.

  • Is the visitor’s screen too small?

  • Fix: Rotate the visitor’s phone from portrait to landscape to make the barcode bigger.

  • Is it a sunny day and the visitor’s screen has reflections?

  • Fix: Tilt the visitor’s phone downwards slightly to remove reflections from the sky.
