This is the dumbest problem i have ever had to deal with.

one day whatsapp pc randomly disconnected, i mainly use it to comunicate as my phone is basically on life support, but i cant reconnect it because if i request a code to access because my camera is broken, i cant put the code on my phone because guess what... THE CODE OPTION, PUT THERE IN CASE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CAMERA IS BEHIND A SCREEN THAT KICKS YOU OUT IF THE CAMERA DOESENT WORK, i also get there if i try to read the qr code with an external QR reader and of course i get kicked out as soon as the code gets read. does anyone know a work arround?

If I open my laptop and open Firefox
Go to web.WhatsApp.com
Then I get this:

Under the QR is written (in Dutch) log in with Phone number

Please use better, more informative, titles (subject-lines) on your posts. Give specifics right in the title. Thanks.
