Add a code below the QR code that a user can type in #10

Sometimes the QR code fails to scan. There is no security reason I can think of why a code word/phrase could not be placed below the QR code and you would then be able to enter it into the website by hand.

Unlike Submitty code words in RCOS, this code word would only work when the QR code works so therefore it would still detect live attendance just as well.

Ok new idea. The venue QR codes should be links with the code embeded in the link. Then if I use my normal QR code scanner it will open venue directly and verify or if I am already on venue it can extract out the code from the link and use that.

So if right now the QR code returns jasdfuvijsiodfoiajfeia383iwfnu3u you could make it return something like https://www.venue-meetings.com/#/lecture_info/614a196f729242002b3a6cba/attend?code=jasdfuvijsiodfoiajfeia383iwfnu3u so the first part is the direct link to the meeting and then I just added /attend?code=jasdfuvijsiodfoiajfeia383iwfnu3u to the end to verify.
