Meeting Owl Hire from AV Xpert
Posted by Tom Brown on 23/06/2026
As hybrid working continues to shape the way organisations collaborate, having high-quality video conferencing equipment has never been more important. At AV Xpert, we offer a range of professional video conferencing equipment for hire, including the innovative Meeting Owl range from Owl Labs.
Our hire stock includes the Meeting Owl 3 and Meeting Owl 4+, available for hire periods from a single day up to a few weeks. In this blog, we'll explain what a Meeting Owl is, explore the benefits they offer, and look into how they can be hired from our online hire shop.
What is a Meeting Owl?
A Meeting Owl is an all-in-one video conferencing device designed to improve the experience of hybrid meetings. Placed in the centre of a meeting room table, the device combines a high-quality camera, microphone array, and speaker into a single compact unit.
Unlike some video conferencing cameras that focus on a single angle, a Meeting Owl provides a 360-degree view of the room while intelligently highlighting active speakers. This helps remote participants feel more engaged and included in discussions, creating a more natural meeting experience for everyone involved.
While a Meeting Owl does not offer the same level of performance or room coverage as a high-end, permanently installed video conferencing system, they provide a highly effective and cost-efficient alternative for many meeting spaces. Meeting Owls are compact, portable devices that do not need to be permanently installed, offering a flexible video conferencing solution for businesses.
Benefits of Using a Meeting Owl
Compact & Portable
Thanks to their compact size and lightweight design, Meeting Owls can be easily used in a variety of meeting spaces. Whether you're using a boardroom, training room, office space, event venue or more, the device can easily be moved and positioned where required.
Compatible with Popular Platforms
Meeting Owls work seamlessly with many of the most widely used video conferencing platforms, including Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet and other popular applications. This flexibility means you can integrate the device into your existing workflow with minimal disruption.
360-Degree Room Coverage and High-Quality Audio
One of the standout features of the Meeting Owl is its 360-degree camera view. Remote attendees can see everyone around the table, while the device automatically focuses on whoever is speaking. Combined with high-quality microphones and built-in speakers, conversations remain clear and engaging.
Scalable for Larger Spaces
For larger meeting environments, the coverage of Meeting Owls can be expanded. Multiple Owl devices can be paired together, while accessories such as Expansion Mics or Owl Bar can further enhance audio and video performance across larger spaces.
Cost-Effective Video Conferencing
Meeting Owls provide a professional video conferencing solution without the complexity and cost of installing a permanent system. This makes them ideal for businesses looking for a simple and effective conferencing setup.
Why Hire Instead of Buy?
For many organisations, hiring a Meeting Owl can be a more practical and cost-effective option than purchasing.
Hiring allows you to access professional conferencing technology with a significantly lower upfront cost. Also, rather than purchasing equipment that may only be used occasionally, you can hire exactly what you need for the duration of your event or project.
Meeting Owl hire is particularly useful for one-off or temporary meeting setups. You only pay for the equipment for the duration of your hire, avoiding the expense of purchasing devices that may spend most of their time stored away.
When you hire from AV Xpert, you also benefit from priority telephone support and technical assistance throughout your hire period, giving you added confidence and peace of mind.
