Check-in level

Pick Standard or Stricter. A level sets sensible QR code timing for you. Stricter makes it harder for someone to check in from an old photo of the screen. If you change the timing yourself under Advanced, you'll see that you're using custom timing — pick a level to go back to a preset.
