transfer esim without using camera

If I am not mistaken, you should be able to transfer your eSIM after setting up the Gmail account and Fingerprint Unlock on your new device. It should not require a QR code when you are transferring between two Pixel devices. https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help/esim-on-pixel

In case the device won’t let you for whatever reason ​@statracing , you can recover your eSIM profile now online through Koodo self-serve as an alternative. This will send the eSIM profile to the new device. Note that you have to complete the setup process with the new device first to do this. I believe MilkyWay is correct though and you shouldn’t need a camera, this would be for the device receiving the eSIM (Pixel-8) not the one providing it. However, you can also do it this way if you choose.

When logged into self-serve, in the drop-down menu follow this flow: Mobile Services →  Manage your SIM card or eSIM. You will then be presented 4 options. Choose “Recover my deleted eSIM”.  You will then be prompted to enter the IMEI of the device you would like the eSIM sent to. Here, type in the new Pixel-8 IMEI. This can be found either on the side of the box, within the device settings, or by calling *#06# on the new phone.

Once done, Koodo will send your eSIM profile to the new device to be activated, it will show up as a pop-up notification or within the eSIM settings of the Pixel-8. That’s all, you should then be good to go.
