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.

GBNot an enterprise solution Not an enterprise solution. I have opened two tickets in the last 2 weeks. No response from Owl Labs other than the auto reply "we are experiencing higher than usual response times...." I went through the demo, which was great. But once you receive the device and begin trying to decipher how to integrate it into your Office 365 environment, you realize it was inadequate to put it nicely. Beyond that the support has been non-existent. This is a $5000 system and I unfortunately will have to box it back up and return it. Two thumbs down

GBPart of the team Honestly I really love our Owl. We've been mostly working from home, so I usually end up in the office alone unless we're doing a conference call. There's something oddly comforting about the cute little 'hoot' the Owl makes when connecting. It's like having a useful pet/coworker there, even when I'm alone in the office. On a more serious note, I love being able to wander over to the whiteboard without worrying about staying in frame or whether or not I'm speaking loudly enough. It's sleek design fits in nicely with our the design of our conference room and ends up being a conversation starter for guests.

GBThese new Owl 3's stink!! These new Owl 3's stink!!! They will not pair properly. Support at Owl Labs is non-existent. They have NO SUPPORT for their products!!! I have called and emailed and get no responses. Do not buy OWL LABS if you will need any assistance.

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.
