When it comes to video conferencing solutions, Meeting Owl is one of the top brand video conference cameras that you can easily find in the market with reputable distributors.
In this blog, we will discuss how to set up your Meeting Owl camera for video conference. But before that, let us introduce the Meeting Owl for your better understanding.
What is Meeting Owl?
Meeting Owl camera offers a video solution with its 360° lens that can capture a panoramic view of your meeting room. It results in a more engaging experience during meetings, and remote team members can observe all the attendees in the meeting. Additionally, the camera
records 720p video to prevent any lag in streaming speed.
