If you've just got your hands on the Owl Bar and can't wait to use it, you're in the right place! This smart video bar gives you clear video, sharp sound, and smooth meetings—whether in a small room or a big boardroom. Setting it up may sound tricky, but don't worry. It's very easy.
In this post, we'll walk you through each step so you can get the best results right from day one. We'll also briefly discuss the Whiteboard Camera and how it can boost your meeting setup. And if you're in Dubai, Evig—the official distributor of Owl Labs—can help with all your setup needs.
Unbox Everything First
Start by carefully opening the Owl Bar box. You'll find the Owl Bar, power cable, remote, and helpful instructions inside. Place everything on a clean table so it's easy to see.
Before doing anything else, make sure you have all the parts. This will save you time later and help avoid confusion.
Pick the Right Spot for the Owl Bar
The Owl Bar is meant to sit at the front of your meeting room. Place it either above or below your main screen—whichever feels right for your space. Make sure it faces the meeting area clearly so it can catch everyone's face and voice.
The lens has a wide view, but it still works best when facing the people in the room directly.
Plug It In and Power It On
Now plug the Owl Bar into the power outlet. You'll see the lights turn on. This means it's getting ready. Let it load for a minute or two. It usually sets itself up automatically for the first time.
Once it's ready, you'll see the home screen or a welcome message on your display.
Connect It to Your Meeting Platform
The Owl Bar works well with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and more. To use it, plug the USB cable provided into your computer. Your meeting platform will quickly recognize the device.
You'll also see options for camera, mic, and speaker—select Owl Bar for all three.
Set Up the Whiteboard Camera (Optional but Helpful)
If you're using a Whiteboard Camera with the Owl Bar, this is a great time to set it up. Place the whiteboard camera above your whiteboard, connect it, and let it sync with your system.
This helps people joining remotely see what is written on your whiteboard, even if there's a glare in the room.
Pair with a Meeting Owl (If You Have One)
If you already have a Meeting Owl 3 or 4+, you can wirelessly pair it with the Owl Bar. Just press the sync button on both devices, and they'll connect. This gives you more camera angles and better sound coverage.
The Owl Bar will focus on speakers in the front, while the Meeting Owl can handle the rest of the room.
Test the Camera and Sound
Before your first real meeting, do a quick test. Open a video call and sit in different spots in the room. You'll notice how the Owl Bar tracks your voice and turns the camera toward whoever is speaking. The sound should be clear, too, thanks to the built-in mic and speaker.
Try moving around a bit to see how well it follows you. This will help you feel confident before any big calls.
Keep It Updated and Clean
Once your Owl Bar is set up, don't forget to check for updates now and then. You can find this in the settings area. Also, use a soft cloth to gently wipe the lens and speaker grille. This keeps everything working smoothly.
If you need any help, support, or extra accessories, Evig, the official Owl Labs distributor in Dubai, is always there to help.
Final Thoughts
Setting up the Owl Bar is easy if you take it step by step. From unboxing to testing, each part is quick and simple. Once it's ready, you'll get better meetings, clearer sound, and smooth tracking—all without doing much. Add the Whiteboard Camera for even better sharing and have a complete meeting setup. And if you need a hand, contact Evig in Dubai. They'll help you every step of the way.
