Owl Labs

Owl Labs is a technology company specializing in meeting room devices and software designed to improve collaboration and inclusivity for remote and hybrid teams. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, Owl Labs is best known for its Meeting Owl product line, a series of 360° smart video conferencing cameras. These devices combine a microphone array, speaker, and camera in a single unit intended to capture and present a holistic view of in-room participants during virtual meetings.

The primary offering, the Meeting Owl, utilizes beamforming technology to highlight active speakers within the room. It uses artificial intelligence to identify and track participants, dynamically adjusting the camera view to focus on those speaking. This functionality aims to provide a more natural and engaging experience for remote attendees, bridging the gap between in-room and remote participants.

In addition to the Meeting Owl, Owl Labs offers the Whiteboard Owl, a camera system designed to enhance whiteboard collaboration during remote meetings by providing a clear and unobstructed view of the whiteboard content. Owl Labs also provides software and platform integrations to enhance the functionality and usability of its hardware. The company targets a range of customers, including small to medium-sized businesses, educational institutions, and larger enterprises seeking to improve hybrid meeting experiences.
