Q: Why can't I start the camera?

A: Possible reasons: ① Browser doesn't have camera permission (please allow camera access in browser settings) ② Camera is occupied by another app (close other apps using camera) ③ Device has no camera or camera malfunction ④ Using HTTP protocol (some browsers require HTTPS for camera access).

A: Possible reasons: ① QR code is blurry, damaged, or partially obscured ② Insufficient lighting or severe reflection ③ QR code too small or too far away ④ QR code color contrast insufficient (like light-colored QR codes) ⑤ QR code distorted or tilt angle too large. Solutions: Ensure QR code is clear and complete, good lighting, adjust distance and angle appropriately. If camera scanning fails, try taking a screenshot and using image upload method.
