Scan the QR code that appears on your desktop with your phone's camera. This links your devices for the photo capture process.

Follow the prompts on your phone. The app will ask you to look at a sequence of numbers on the screen, then turn your head left and right until it confirms a successful capture for each angle.
Step04
Process the Images
After the capture is complete, wait a few minutes for the application to process the images and build your avatar.
Step05
Review Your Avatar
After processing is complete, your new AI avatar will appear in the Google Flow interface, ready to be used in video generation projects.
What good looks like
- Phone successfully links to the Google Flow session

How to recover when the loop fails and where human judgment helps.
Recover
If it goes sideways
- Face capture fails due to poor lighting or occlusion
- Retake images in brighter lighting without hats or glasses blocking features
- QR code pairing between phone and desktop fails
- Refresh the session and reconnect on the same network
- Processing stalls before avatar generation
- Check upload connectivity and restart the capture workflow
