I'm not sure what you mean. What video are you referring to?

Some stations have gates and the QR code in the app can be used to open some of these gates.

Please ask questions in the community and not via a private message. That's the quickest way to get a response. I don't work for Eurail/Interrail.

In some stations your reservation will also operate the gate - Eurostar and French TGVs come to mind.

    Just one more thing, in the UK some, but far from all, stations have these gates, but they don’t read QR codes. There should always be somebody on duty to open the gate manually or a help button for remote release.

    On the train the inspector will also be unable to read your QR code but, as long as you have added the train to your pass, all the required information is shown in the text as well, but you may need to scroll down a bit.
