Check in at the event

When check-in opens

Attendance is a separate step from registering, and it only works around the time of the event itself. Open the event page when you arrive and a check-in panel appears below the details.

• Too early and the page says Attendance isn't open yet.
• Too late and it says Attendance for this event has closed.
• Not every event uses check-in. If the host hasn't enabled it, no panel appears and there is nothing for you to do.

Mark your attendance appears on the event page once check-in is open. Example event details.

Scanning the venue QR

Most hosts display a printed QR code at the start. Scanning it proves you are there, so no location permission is needed.

1. On the event page, choose Scan event QR.
2. Allow the browser to use your camera, then point it at the code displayed at the venue.
3. Enter the email address you registered with, then choose Mark me present.

Sharing your location instead

Some hosts check attendance by location rather than a QR. In that case the panel asks for permission to read your position and compares it against the event's map pin.

1. Choose Enable location and allow the browser's permission prompt.
2. Enter the email you registered with and choose Mark me present.

• “You're too far from the venue to check in” — you are outside the radius the host set. Move closer to the meeting point and try again.
• “This email isn't registered for this event” — check for a typo, or register first. Check-in only works for people who already have a place.
• “Check in from the device you registered on” — the host has locked check-in to one device. Use the phone or laptop you registered on.
