To my understanding, Signal requires that you have a physical phone to use the desktop version. Is there any way to scan the QR code without a physical device? I’m trying to make an anonymous Signal account.
My idea:
1.) Set up Android VM on Linux laptop
2.) Use laptop camera to scan the QR code on my desktop


Also OBS studio with the virtual camera extension lets you use its output as a camera input in other programs so you can pass literally anything to the camera.
