One of the biggest challenges I’ve found in the corporate world is changing people’s mindsets about interacting with office technology. Even after living through the dark ages of pandemic remote working, people cannot seem to shake the fear of using conference room audio/video equipment when it’s as simple as “plug and play”.
Sometimes, a quick visual is all that’s needed to lead by example. Building on behaviors engrained during the pandemic times, I created a solution to help nervous conference room hosts who don’t know how to set up their video calls – a simple “Need help? Scan me!” QR code.
Instead of using a QR code generator online that will eventually bait you into paying for a subscription, I wanted to utilize the qrcode Python library and put my scripting knowledge to the test.
