The Meeting Owl brought the In Trust Center’s dispersed board together in dynamic new ways.

The glowing eyes of the Meeting Owl Pro are more proof that we’re living in a different era. Billed as an “immersive experience” for hybrid meetings and classrooms, the Owl packs a 1080p camera that can deliver a 360-degree picture of a meeting room and zooms in on presenters. Its microphone and speaker provide ample coverage. Tested in September by the In Trust Center Board of Directors, the Owl performed well in a hybrid meeting with half the board on Zoom. Spread around North America, those online had a sense of being in the same room and could track the conversation easily. The only thing they missed: hotel coffee and the Owl’s omnipresent glowing eyes.
