I tried to add a second (desktop) client using three different webcams, all rather high-end, and it only worked with one of them, since webcams don’t seem to be designed to focus on near screens. The only way I got the add second client setup process to work was by taking a screenshot of the DC iOS add second device QR code and enlarging it. To make the process more reliable, please enlarge the QR code by default.

I don’t know of any reason why the QR codes shouldn’t be as large as the screen space allows.
For most QR transfers, saving the QR code as a file and loading it as a file into the second client is possible and circumvents camera probs, though it is less convenient. Not sure if that’s possible here but it is possible to copy the cloning QR code to clipboard.
Of course, there are obvious security risks; the file lets anyone clone your chat client and see all your messages.
