Hello Tuan,

I would like to suggest a new feature for Event Booking: an “Auto Check-in” option.

How it would work:

1. At the end of each event or session, the organizer opens a dedicated Event Booking page on the projector, showing the event title and a QR code.
2. Each participant scans this QR code with their own phone, and their attendance is automatically recorded.
3. To prevent misuse (for example, someone taking a photo of the code and sending it to a person who is not present), the QR code would refresh automatically every 30 seconds, and the previous code would expire immediately.
4. The organizer could access and display this page directly from the frontend.

Why it would help:

In events with many participants, this would remove the need to scan each attendee’s QR code individually. It would shorten check-in queues and save a significant amount of time during the event itself.

I believe this feature would be valuable for many Event Booking users, especially academic institutions and large events.

Thank you for considering it.
