CAWish we bought this sooner We've always had a few people working remotely. At every company meeting, or large gathering it always felt to them that they weren't fully part of that experience. Our Owl immediately changed that. The audio quality improved 10x from our external mic, and having the ability to see everyone made a huge impact to everyone involved. The same can be said for our regular zoom meetings with partners and customers. They really enjoy being able to see everyone. Highly recommend adding this to your stack. Super easy to set up and get started.

GBJust plain awesome all around. Our office went through dozens of microphone and camera options and all were pretty awful. We even tried studio rated microphones and expensive cameras and none of them were what you would call good especially for a tech company. We unpacked the owl and called a bunch of our remote employees and every one of their first responses was "WOW! This is way better than anything else you have tried we should get more of these". Would recommend everyone get one.

GBTerrible Customer Service. First and foremost the worst customer service I've experienced. That is to say they seem non existent. Cannot reach anyone by phone for the past two days, No one responds to their online widget nor do they answer any of the three emails that I have sent. The Meeting Owl Pro has extremely poor video quality and I can't comment on the sound since we cannot use this system for our meetings. Very nice concept and great if it works or any issues could be solved but all of this means nothing if you don't get support.

DKA simple solution to a complex problem I've only tried the first generation of hardware. This is a neat solution that is "all in one" if you already have your own computers and screens and are only looking to add a great webcam, a mic and possibly speakers. The 360 view is the killer feature. Just plant it on the middle of the table and that's it. No need to rotate laptops, play with flakly remote-controlled camera controls. It just works. The intelligent cropping works flawlessly. The microphone and speaker in the first generation isn't great. I've heard they've improved that in the second generation.

GBSound lag/first few words sound underwater I am a Washington State Court Certified Spanish interpreter. Snohomish County District Courts have been using the owl in their courtrooms for hearings. The sound quality is so-so at best. There is a lag and the first couple of words sound under water and then the rest of the speech sounds normal. This happens with every speaker in the courtroom but not with the other Zoom participants who are not in the courtroom. Because of the lag, if another speaker begins before the audio comes through from the last speaker then you can't hear anything. One of the judges stated that I had a bad internet connection. However, I don't have this issue with other courtrooms and providers that don't use the owl. Also, other Zoom participants have stated to the judges that the sound from the courtroom is choppy. This is very frustrating since I am legally bound to interpret everything that is said to assure due process. I have given feedback to the interpreter coordinator and court clerks. I don't know if the courts bought the wrong size Owl or what is causing the issue. Please advise. Thank you.
