Scan documents using a mobile device

Scan physical documents using your a web browser on your mobile device.

Who this is for

This content is for all users who will join or have already completed a meeting.

Tips for success

  • Place the document on a contrasting background that is a solid color. 
  • Ensure the edges of the document are lined up with the blue border.
  • Hold the device steady at a straight angle.
  • If your document has content in borders, try positioning the camera farther from the document so the scanner can focus on the entire document instead of parts of the document.

You can stop scanning at any point, but you'll lose all progress from previous scans.
