Just 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.

A 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.

We love our owl! We love our owl! for years we i have struggled with making meetings productive with external participants. Those joining remotely could never really participate properly as they couldnt hear or see what was going on properly. The owl solves this for us. Now our remote participants feel as if they are in the room! Fabulous product.

Our Meeting Owls Our Meeting Owls, named Fred and Barney, have saved so much on driving and other travel expenses. We can collaborate and work iff we are all together despite our physical distance. This has helped al ofl our departments be more productive and cohesive as a whole. It has been a worthwhile investment!

Great Idea, Poor Execution We bought two Owls for our conferences between offices. They were great to start, but we quickly found that the audio quality was almost unusable. Lots of pieces of conversations were dropped and we surmised it was due to some overzealous attempt at blocking out background noise. Great idea and the hardware seems good, but the software is not there yet.
