GBZero 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.

GBWireless 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.

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.

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.
