You do not need any login to scan.

Just download the app and core functionality is ready to be used.




The problem is that your "See how it works" link prompts people to log in. I don't want to log in, so I guess I'll never find out how it works, or download the app.


I see. It would make sense to self-host this video.

Will forward it to product guys


Self-host might be a good option, or youtube or vimeo. Or even Twitter. But Instagram is a wierd choice.


Probably not twitter, any remotely popular link shows 'sorry we can't show this, maybe try reloading' for users without an account, unless they're very persistent.

Meta: this had gotten much better in late January, but is back to where it was again.


Yeah, I can't see the instagram thing despite being logged in.


Just host it on YouTube?


The issue is that the "How it Works" link points to a saved Instagram STORY, which requires viewers to be logged in.

If it was a regular Instagram post of a video, people could view it without logging in (just tested in an Incognito window).

But yeah, probably better to self-host, or at least put it on YouTube.
