Your Chromebook’s camera can scan QR codes. That too, without any apps or extensions. Here is how to scan QR codes on Chromebooks.

Scan QR Code on Chromebook – Using Camera

Open your Chromebook’s camera app.

    Apparently emojis aren’t recognized, haha. Super useful feature to have especially on Chrome OS tablets that you carry around on the go.

      OK. so I have the same question. and that is: HOW DO I SCAN A QR CODE FROM A WEBSITE ON MY CHROMEBOOK FROM A WEBSITE THAT IS ON MY CHROMEBOOK. I NEED THIS APP ON MY CHROMEBOOK, I DONT HAVE A PHONE OR A TABLET, JUST THIS CHROMEBOOK. HOW DO I GET THIS APP ON MY CHROMEBBOK FROM A WEBSITE IM ACCESSING WHILE ON MY CHROMEBOOK?

      They know exactly what we are asking. And in every Question with an answer(s) that I have clicked on that is asking the exact same thing it is extremely clear they don’t want to answer it. which means there is no way to do that yet (which why they don’t just say that is totally absurd) or for whatever reason, u have to be part of their elite or a computer wiz of some sort to figure it out or be told the secret.

      I am no computer wiz but learn real fast and am very smart. And as a stupid analogy, I feel like they are telling us that 2+2=100. you get what I’m saying…
