# Guest Access

> The code and the QR poster guests use to reach your AI staff themselves.

**Guest Access** is how a guest starts talking to your AI staff without anybody at the desk doing it for them. It holds the **access code**, a **link**, and a **QR poster** you can print.

***

## What is on the screen

**The current access code**, six digits, with **New code in** counting down to when it changes on its own.

**Copy Link** for the address a guest can open directly, and **Download Poster** for a printable sheet — headed *Meet your AI receptionist* — with the QR code on it.

The QR and the link both open the **verification page**. They do not sign a guest in on their own: the guest still enters the access code and completes the steps there.

**Change Code** replaces the current code immediately, behind a confirmation.

## What you do here

<Steps>
  <Step title="Put the poster where guests are">
    Reception, the lift, the room. The QR is the shortest path a guest has to your AI staff.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Read the code out when somebody asks at the desk">
    It is also on the [AI Dashboard](/front-desk/ai-dashboard) on a phone, so a colleague on the floor does not have to come here.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Change the code when you have a reason">
    A printed sheet left somewhere it should not be, a code shared beyond your guests.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  **Changing the code does not break your posters.** The QR points at the verification page, not at a particular code, so printed sheets keep working. What changes is the six digits a guest types — so reprint anything that has the **code itself** printed on it.

  **The old code keeps working for a short while afterwards**, so a guest half-way through verifying is not locked out mid-step.
</Note>

## What happens next

A guest who opens the QR or the link and completes verification there reaches your AI staff themselves — the same result as your team activating them on [Active Guests](/front-desk/guests/active-guests), without your team doing it.

**Your access code changes automatically** on its own schedule; the countdown on this screen is how long the current one has left.
