We started using the Owl when we… We started using the Owl when we offered our clients the option to attend sales training classes live or virtually. The set up was easy and the experience makes the virtual participants almost feel like they are in the room. The speaker is good quality and picks up the person speaking which triggers the Owl camera to track to them. Great product for a reasonable price.

Zero technical support -- unacceptable I bought a Meeting Own 3 about two weeks ago, but can never get the desktop (Windows) installed without crashing my system. Like what other people commented, my attempts to reach out to Owl Labs via email and phone got zero response. I have never experienced anything like this before and have lost confidence in the product and company. I was planning to return the product to get a refund, if only someone from Owl Labs could reply to my inquiries. I'm now forced to dispute the change via my credit card company. 9/2/2022 update: I finally got a response from technical support after more than a week and was promised a refund. So I withdrew my billing dispute with the credit card company. BUT the refund never came after more than two weeks, despite being told that the refund has been processed. So, I had to reinstate my dispute. This has been such a disappointing experience, a failure of the company on all fronts.

Wireless camera pairing feature is a gamechanger. We purchased our first Owl Professional on March 2020. It died after the first month; Owl Lab's replaced it promptly. It is now October and we purchased four more units. A single unit works well for small to medium rooms. With physical distancing, the rooms cannot house as many people as they used to. For meetings involving 10 or more people with 6' physical distancing made the microphones a little weak. Then, Owl released firmware that allows unwired (WiFi direct) pairing of two cameras. This is a game changer for this system. One unit covers small to medium rooms; two units paired can now cover medium-large meeting rooms.

Our OWL Pro has been an incredible tool… Our OWL Pro has been an incredible tool during these trying times. OWL has an excellent product that has allowed us to stay connected with each other seamlessly and effortlessly. The video and sound quality are exceptional and the performance is second to none! Looking to expand my nest over here in the near future. Keep up the great work gang.

Very low quality customer service I'm amazed by the poor quality of the customer service. We have an Owl 3 + extended mic in our conference room for about 2 months. Everything worked fine, then stopped working. It happens, I sell connected hardware too, I know how it can be. I contacted the customer service that first sends me to the troubleshooting section. I did all the procedures patiently. Then they asked for photos and audio samples under different conditions. I followed instructions and made all the different tests (different settings, different computers, different rooms, different conference software, etc.). Almost 2 hours later, I had a pretty convincing case: the device was not working in any configuration. Their answer ? "The problem is the room". Well, I tried it in 5 different rooms, some without any echo, and the problem is still there. When I insist that it cannot be the room, they answer "that they cannot do anything and are sorry if I don't like the product". I insist, quite amazed by the answer. Now they're going with "let's wait for the next firmware update in a couple of weeks to see if it helps". Seriously? You sell a 2000$ device that breaks after 2 months, and you give me that crap of excuses and service? You're not even considering that there might be a malfunctioning device? I'd advise anyone I know to stay away from Owllabs - probably the worst product and service I've ever bought.
