Our take
The accelerating shift to hybrid work necessitates an expansion in communication technologies - with video technology becoming a cornerstone of how remote and hybrid workforces maintain connectivity. While most video conferencing products have been exclusively software or hardware, Owl Labs supplies smart devices that combine the two.
The company's 360-degree panoramic cameras and surround-sound speakers provide real-life conferencing, while motion and voice-activated capacities focus attention on the speaker. Its main product, the Meeting Owl, is compatible with Zoom, Google Hangouts, Microsoft Teams, and other popular video conferencing platforms, and is used by more than 100,000 organizations around the world.
The company continues to develop its products, releasing the front-of-room video conferencing-based "Owl Bar" in 2023, which is the first device of its kind. Reports suggest that the 360-degree camera market could reach over 4.9 billion USD by 2030 and, with hybrid work here to stay, the popularity and unique offering indicate an exciting future ahead for Owl Labs.
