Recognized for redefining hybrid collaboration

Owl Connect gives teams the ability to wirelessly link multiple Owl Labs devices together for a more flexible and customized meeting experience.

This wireless pairing feature helps teams expand coverage in larger rooms, connect breakout spaces, and create dynamic hybrid environments that feel natural for everyone involved. Whether connecting a Meeting Owl 4+ with a Whiteboard Owl or linking multiple Meeting Owls throughout a space, Owl Connect ensures that every participant, near or far, feels equally seen and heard.

Designed for modern Work

Today’s workplaces are more fluid than ever. Teams are spread across locations, and meeting spaces come in all shapes and sizes. Owl Connect was designed to make hybrid collaboration simple and scalable, giving organizations the ability to:

• Easily connect multiple devices wirelessly for flexible room setups.
