The Meeting Owl is a webcam, microphone, and speaker designed for conference tables.
It typically displays a panorama of the room at the top of its video feed, while using the main part of the video to focus on individuals that are speaking.
Meeting Owls may be a good option for a room where something better than a traditional webcam is needed, but a /wiki/spaces/LITKB/pages/39149880or built-in AV system is not necessary or affordable.
The 360° Lens allows for groups to fit in a video call better than usual webcams.

Support
DIIT will update and deploy Owls for staff. DIIT has access to a nest portal for quick review of the software version for our 11 current owls.
Device updates should happen over a connection that is not UCLA_WEB (long story short, Meeting Owl updates do NOT work on that WiFi network).
