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.

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.

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.

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.

Zero Customer Service Support My Owl stopped working and I've reached out to customer support via email and phone with no response. Does anyone work there anymore? No one picks up the phone. I've done all the troubleshooting tips, and nothing works. I now have a 3-year-old $1,000 device that doesn't work.
