What is a Meeting Owl?

In 2025, more and more businesses are embracing hybrid and remote work. But how do you keep that classic “everyone around one table” feeling when half your team is joining online?

That’s where the Meeting Owl comes in.

Meet the Owl: A Smarter Way to Meet

The Meeting Owl 4+ is a modern, portable conferencing solution for teams that don’t want the hassle of multiple cameras and microphones in the boardroom.

It features a 360° camera on top with 4K Ultra HD resolution, giving everyone a seat at the table—no matter where they are. With built-in intelligence, the Owl automatically detects the person speaking and brings them into focus within seconds.

  • Camera pickup radius: ~10 ft

  • Audio coverage: Dual speakers with 360° clear in-room sound

  • Microphone pickup radius: ~5.5 ft (ideal for a 12-person conference room)

And the best part? Setup takes less than 10 minutes if you want to fine-tune it with the Owl app—or under 3 minutes if you just plug it in and go.

Flexible and Portable

Unlike traditional meeting room systems, the Owl doesn’t have to stay in one place. Bring it to any office, set it up on a table or tripod, and you’re ready to go.

At Skycomp Solutions, we use the Meeting Owl 4+ for our quarterly meetings with over 20 people in the room. It does a great job picking up speakers—though we’ve learned it helps if you stand up while talking.

Owl 3 vs. Owl 4+: What’s the Difference?

There are two main models on the market—the Meeting Owl 3 and the Meeting Owl 4+.

Here’s the key difference:

  • Owl 3: 1080p HD camera, 16MP

  • Owl 4+: 4K UHD camera, 64MP

That jump in resolution means sharper images, more detail, and an overall smoother meeting experience.

Works Seamlessly with Your Favorite Platforms

Whether your team uses Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, or Slack, the Owl integrates perfectly.

As a Microsoft Partner, we’ve tested it extensively with Teams, and the results were genuinely impressive—smooth connection, crisp audio, and effortless switching between speakers.

For a More Permanent Setup: Meet the Owl Bar

If you’re looking for a fixed conference setup, Owl Bar is another great option. It mounts easily on a wall or TV and gives you a front-facing room view—ideal for larger spaces.

Owl Bar specs:

  • Resolution: 4K Ultra HD

  • Camera: 30 MP

  • Vertical FOV: 73°

  • Horizontal FOV: 114°

  • Pickup range: 18 ft

It also pairs seamlessly with the Owl 3 or 4+, switching intelligently between devices based on who’s speaking—thanks to built-in AI. You’ll just need the Owl desktop app to pair multiple devices.

The Meeting Owl lineup brings intelligence, flexibility, and simplicity to the modern hybrid workspace. Whether you’re a small business or an enterprise team, it helps bridge the gap between in-person and remote collaboration—without a complicated setup.
