    Great! The program works, it’s more convenient than Skype, I tested it with friends! We recorded the stream via Viber, everything worked out perfectly (but Skype is still more suitable here). The only problem is: you need a fairly good Internet connection for a stable connection with your interlocutor. Regarding QR codes in Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Safari, Firefox, etc., there is a function to increase the desired area! (Bad cameras will also read QR) Reply ↓

       Do you mean on one device? Yes, 2 people can use it, but for this they must have their own accounts. In this case, you will need to constantly log out of your account so that another person can log in to theirs on this device. Everything is exactly the same as with regular Skype, for example.

20. Marzuda (05/09/2016 at 22:02)

    Not everything is as easy and simple as they explain, I did everything as expected, but at the end it’s not a code, but some kind of QR picture that needs to be scanned, but it’s not clear how to install viber on a computer, it’s not at all an easy task, so I was disappointed. Installing on the phone was much easier. So Tell me what to do with this QR picture and how to get the access code?????? Reply ↓

    1. soer (10.05.2016 at 16:52)

       You need to read it using your mobile phone. In Viber, go to settings, find and click the QR code, a square appears on the screen in which you need to mark the code from the screen. This is additional protection from Viber, which appeared recently. Reply ↓

       1. Natalia (12.05.2016 at 17:19)

          Tell us more about the process of scanning a QR code and how long it takes, for some reason my phone doesn’t read the code! Reply ↓

          1. soer (05/13/2016 at 11:21)

             It literally takes seconds. When you register Viber on your computer, a window with a code appears. Open your Viber on your mobile phone, and on your computer, click the “Open QR scanner” button, when you do this, in Viber on your phone a square will appear on the screen to read the code (if it doesn’t appear automatically, then in Viber on your phone, click in the upper left corner with 3 stripes (Menu) select QR code from the list). Now bring the phone to the computer so that the QR code fits in the square on the mobile phone. If it can’t be read, move it closer or further away from the computer. Reply ↓

             1. Natalia (05/13/2016 at 20:38)

                Hello, everything seems to be elementary, the QR scanner opens, I bring the phone to the code - it doesn’t read! At least bring it closer, at least further! Why might this be?

             2. Max (05/14/2016 at 22:04)

                Nothing works, the camera on the smart is lousy, Lenovo a390, does not scan at any distance, I tried 50 times, this way and that, both in the light, and at an angle, and very far/close - it’s useless) The matrix is ​​plastic, this QR- the code that Viber sends cannot be read by any scanner from the playmarket (((They come up with all sorts of heresies, but there was a normal activation via SMS or the code came directly to Viber, they could do an alternative activation. I wrote to them in technical support, but I’m sure They won’t fix a damn thing - maybe the QR code needs to be cut down more, so that it shines more clearly) Or let them add an alternative activation code to the installer, well, not everyone has fresh smart phones with normal optics) Here’s the problem, how can I solve it?

             3. soer (05/16/2016 at 12:53)

                Hmm, I don’t know, in principle, with a camera like the Lenovo a390, everything should work. Perhaps it's something to do with the Internet on your mobile? If the Internet is messy, then the phone will not be able to read the code. But these are already assumptions.
