Messages for web - not working on chrome when phone connected to wi-fi

Not sure if this is relevant or not, but, I noticed that the QR scanner seems to fire immediately, without waiting for the code on the screen to come into view. I signed out, positioned the camera exactly where it needed to be, and activated the scanner. This time, it worked.

You are the man! I realize this is an old thread, but this bug is still a problem in 2021. I tried every troubleshooting suggestion to no avail until I found your solution. Thanks.
