The QR you scan at the door checks you into the event; the QR code that represents you is for other members to scan and connect with you. The two are never the same code.
There are two different QR codes involved in attending an event, and mixing them up is one of the most common points of confusion, so here's the clear version.
Events may have their own venue check-in QR code. This is what you scan when you arrive at the venue to check yourself in. It belongs to the event, not to you, and it's the same code for everyone attending that event.
Your personal QR code represents you as a member. Other people scan it to see your basic public profile and connect with you. It's not something staff or organizers scan to check you in.
The QR you scan at the door checks YOU into the event. The QR code that represents YOU is for other members to scan and connect with you. They're never the same code.
| Event check-in QR | Your personal QR | |
|---|---|---|
| Whose code is it? | The event's | Yours |
| Who scans it? | You, when you arrive | Other members, to connect with you |
| What does it do? | Checks you into the event | Shows your profile and offers a connect action |
Do staff or organizers scan my personal QR code to check me in?
No. Check-in uses the event's own venue QR code, which you scan yourself. Staff don't scan your personal QR for check-in.
Can I use my personal QR code to check into an event?
No: your personal QR is for other members to connect with you. Checking into an event uses that event's separate check-in QR code.
Is the event check-in QR different for every event?
Yes, it belongs to that specific event, unlike your personal QR, which is always the same and always represents you.
