Owl Placement

The Owl should be placed approximately 6-8 feet from the main whiteboard in the room.

Cables

There are two cables coming from the Owl. The first cable is the power cable and the second is the USB cable. We have provided a longer power extension cord and Active USB extension cable to provide maximum flexibility. The power cable should be plugged in to the closet electrical outlet. The USB cable should be plugged into your laptop (see "Dongles" below).

Laptop Power

Given the reliance of the laptop and the use of Google Meet, we will be providing an additional laptop charger with each OWL set-up so that faculty do not need to bring a charger with them to class.

Classroom Speakers

The Meeting Owl Pro has its own integrated 360° tri-speaker and microphone. DO NOT plug in your wall-mounted classroom speakers when using the Meeting Owl Pro.

DO NOT use your wall-mounted speakers

Cord Management

We will be using Gaffers Tape, where appropriate, to tape the cables to the floor to minimize the hazard of cables on the ground. If you need to adjust the placement of the Owl in the classroom, please email your school's IT Department Help Desk.

Tripod

Each Owl Pro is mounted on a tripod to provide a stable base. If required, you can remove the Owl from the tripod and unscrew the tripod mounting plate from the Owl. Be sure to place the mounting plate back on the tripod to avoid losing it.

Dongles - StarTech USB-C Multiport Adapter

The Macbook Air laptop has ONLY has USB-C connections. Each OWL will come with a multiport adapter in order to expand the number of ports on the laptop. This will allow you to connect the projector, power, the OWL, and other peripherals
