Hi there! I understand you're trying to use the camera feature in the Magic app on your Android device to enter a room, but instead, it redirects you to a companion website. Let's get this sorted out.

First, to clarify:
- Are you trying to scan a room using the camera inside the Magic app?
- When you tap the option to enter or scan a room, does it instantly take you to a website, or do you get any prompts or error messages?
- Have you recently updated the app or your Android system?

Meanwhile, a common reason for this behavior is that the app may not have permission to access your camera, so it defaults to the website route. Since your device runs Android 10 with a WebKit browser, permissions are important here.

Here's a step-by-step plan to troubleshoot:

1. Check Camera Permissions for Magic app:
- Open your Android Settings app.
- Tap Apps or Apps & notifications.
- Scroll to find Magic or the app you are using.
- Tap Permissions.
- Make sure Camera permission is enabled. If it’s not, toggle it on.

2. Restart the app and device:
- After setting the permission, fully close the Magic app.
- Reopen it and try again. If it still doesn’t work, restart your phone to ensure settings take effect.

3. App update:
- Go to Google Play Store and see if there’s an update for Magic app. Sometimes camera and scanning issues are fixed in updates.

4. Try clearing app cache:
- In Settings > Apps > Magic > Storage, tap Clear Cache.
- Reopen the app and test.

If after these steps the app still won't use the camera and redirects to the companion website, it’s possible the current version of the app or your device’s setup might not support direct camera scanning in-app. According to Magic’s community, some devices or app versions don’t support room scanning directly inside the app and instead rely on companion sites5.

Please let me know what happens after these steps and if you see any error messages or unusual behavior. We can dig deeper from there! Are you satisfied with this approach so far?

Android user. Can't use camera app to enter a room. Now it sends me to companion website

Thanks for providing more context. Since your Magic app on Android 10 is redirecting you to a companion website instead of letting you use the camera to enter a room, it most commonly points to permission issues or browser-related camera access restrictions.

Let me give you some focused steps to check and fix this:

1. Check Camera Permissions in Android Settings:
- Open Settings on your device.
- Tap Apps & notifications (or just Apps).
- Find and select Magic or the app you are using.
- Tap Permissions.
- Make sure Camera permission is set to Allow.
- If permission is missing, enable it and test again.

2. If using the app’s browser or a WebKit-based browser to open the companion website:
- Some Android browsers require you to explicitly allow camera access per website.
- When it redirects you, look in the browser’s address bar or settings for the camera permission prompt.
- You may need to manually enable camera access for that website.
- Alternatively, go to Android Settings > Apps > Your browser > Permissions and ensure camera access is allowed.
- Check browser settings under privacy or site settings to allow camera for the companion website.

3. Clear cache and data for the app and browser:
- Go to Settings > Apps > Magic and tap Storage & cache.
- Tap Clear Cache (and optionally Clear Storage/Data, but note this may reset app info).
- Repeat for the browser you use to open the companion site (like Chrome or WebKit browser).

4. Restart your phone after changing settings to ensure they take effect.

5. Update the Magic app and your browser from Google Play Store to the latest versions. Sometimes camera-related bugs are fixed with updates.

6. Try using a different browser if the companion website always opens there. Installing Chrome, Firefox, or another browser and setting it as default may help with camera permissions issues on websites.

If after these steps you’re still redirected without camera access, it’s possible the app intentionally sends users to a web interface for certain devices or OS versions due to compatibility or security reasons. If so, you’d need to allow camera access on that companion site’s browser as above to scan or enter rooms.

Let me know if these steps help or if you encounter any messages or prompts. Also, tell me if you’re using the Magic app directly or accessing through a web browser for more tailored help.

Are you satisfied with this plan so far? I’m here to assist further!
