Cameras
- Owl conferencing camera

The School of Computer Science has two Owl conferencing camera’s that can be signed out and can be used in the seminar room. You can sign out an owl camera in the main office HP5302 or in the tech support office HP5161 (or ask any tech support in HP5163-HP5167)
Owl cameras can be used when you have one or more participants sharing one Zoom or Teams conferencing session.
Here are some features of the owl camera:
- It’s a 360 camera that works best in the middle of the participants + it has a built in speaker
- It doesn’t require any special drivers and connects like any other external USB webcam
- It uses USB-C and requires a power outlet
- It will automatically focus (video + mic) on participants that are speaking
- It will learn where participants are seated and transition faster
Dual Owl set-up
Two Owl’s can be paired to give you extended coverage:
- Install the Owl app on your phone or tablet
- Launch the Owl app and pair the two meeting Owl’s. It is suggested you keep the meeting owl’s in line of sight no more than 8 feet apart.
- Connect one meeting owl to your laptop using the USB cable. Even though you have connected only one owl the app has configured them so they work together. This will also be the computer that connects to your hybrid meeting. Make sure your Zoom or Teams meeting/settings uses the Owl speaker and microphone.
