Owl Labs Owl Bar Front-of-Room Video Conferencing Device

About: Owl Labs Owl Bar Front-of-Room Video Conferencing Device

The Owl Bar is an intelligent 114° 4K front-of-room camera, mic, and speaker device that allows remote participants to see all the action at once. Featuring a 4K, 30MP camera lens, 4 omnidirectional microphones, and an integrated speaker, the Owl Bar uses intelligent speaker-framing and seamless camera-switching to show the best view of meeting participants. The result is hybrid meetings that naturally feel more engaging.

The Owl Bar also pairs with the Meeting Owl 3 to capture hybrid meetings from two angles: the front and center of the room. Featuring seamless camera-switching and speaker-focus, a 360° view of the room, and wireless devices pairing, the Owl Bar makes hybrid collaboration even more equitable and immersive.
