MLS offers you a built-in QR code scanner – you don't need an additional app πŸ“².

This allows you to scan QR codes that take you directly to work materials and learning tasks, for example.

πŸš€ Step by step: How to use the scanner

Log in to MLS. In the menu, you will find the item β€˜QR Code Scanner’. If you are using a smartphone, it will look like this. Of course, you can also use a tablet πŸ“Ÿ or your laptop πŸ’»πŸ–±οΈ.

​

​Important: You must allow your camera to be used. πŸ“·

Simply scan the QR code with it. And you'll be taken directly to the work tool or learning task.

❌ The link is not working?!

If you are not redirected immediately, as in the example here, you have not enabled pop-ups in your browser. In this case, you will see this message displayed in the yellow area.

In this case, go to your browser settings (e.g. Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Safari) and allow pop-ups to open. On iOS, you can find this under the Safari settings. Turn off β€˜Block pop-ups’ here. For other browsers, simply use an internet search to find out how to do this for the different browsers.

🎯 A few more tips and tricks

  • Lighting: Make sure you have good lighting – dark codes are harder to read.

  • Distance: Don't hold the camera too close or too far away – just focus.

  • Focus: Don't zoom – it's better to hold the device steady.
