I saw quite a couple of videos like this - [Ticket Barcode Scanning with Glide & Airtable - YouTube](https://youtu.be/j4XCNF1pG8A)

They have a ‘barcode scanner’ button in their elements panel. I am unable to find a button like that in my elements panel.

Has this button been deprecated? Is there any alternative?

Sorry, I figured that the Scan Barcode function exists – however, I am getting an output like this –

 ![barcode scan](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/4/7/472a7afd8f3a5b26b4628c05897c56a5a72ebf9a.jpeg)

I am looking for a button exactly like the one in this video – [Ticket Barcode Scanning with Glide & Airtable - YouTube](https://youtu.be/j4XCNF1pG8A)

Ignore this post – I figured that the buttons for glide apps and those for glide pages are different
