How do I use and scan the QR code?
If you've started linking your devices from your PC, you'll be asked to scan a QR code during the setup process. When you receive the prompt for Is there a QR code on your PC?, tap it, and then select Allow to let the Link to Windows app take pictures and record videos.
You can now use the Link to Windows app to scan the QR code.
My codes don't match, so I can't link my phone
For security reasons, too many failed attempts (more than 3) to match the codes on your PC and phone will automatically prevent you from linking your devices.
To try again, close and reopen the Phone Link on your PC, and begin the setup process from there instead. You'll be prompted to accept permissions instead of matching codes to link your devices.
I don't have a Windows PC. Can I use the Phone Link ?
