Having a hybrid meeting, with both in-person and remote participants? Worried about poor audio quality?

Don’t settle any longer with poor audio and a single group shot of your in-person attendees. Check out an OWL 3 device to make the most of your meetings!

When placed in the center of your meeting room, the OWL unit operates in 360 degrees, using sound to aid in focusing both video and audio on each one of your attendees. With an audio range of 18 feet and a video range of 10 feet, the OWL 3 is compatible with most video conferencing software including Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams.

Simply connect the OWL 3 device to your computer via a USB 2.0 cable to take advantage of the device's Owl Intelligence system, which features autofocus and smart zoom. If you prefer, you can also choose the panoramic meeting view which shows all room participants in a single wide angle shot.

The OWL unit can be checked out for 1 week with no renewal allowed. We do not accept holds on this resource, please check our Library Search catalog or call the Service Desk at 303-724-2152, to check for availability.
