Issue/Question
How do I set up the Owl to use for a Teams meeting?
Environment
Additional Details
To set up a specific setting for the Owl for conferencing software click the following links. The Owl for the most part set up itself for you but these are for reference if you need to change any settings.
Note: If the room that you are using the Owl in has a large screen available -- such as several of the college's conference rooms -- you can connect your laptop to that device as you normally would in order to share a larger image copy of your laptop for all attendees to see.
Resolution
When you receive the Owl it should have the USB cord and the power cord already in place but we will go over in case they are disconnected.
- You will need to plug in the Mini USB cable to the bottom of the owl. It is a rectangle-shaped plug. It will go into the port on the left side of the bottom of the Owl.
- You will need to plug the power cord into the bottom of the Owl. This will be a circle plug. It will go into the circle-shaped port on the right side of the bottom of the Owl.
- You will then need to connect the AC adapter to the power cord. You will plug the cable that looks like an 8 into the AC adapter box.
- You will then plug in the power cord to the power outlet in the desk or a wall.
- Next, you will plug the USB cable into the computer. The USB cable is rectangle-shaped and will plug into the computer with a matching shape.
- The Owl eyes will light up once plugged in. Wait until Owl’s eye stops pulsing, and you hear a hoot. The Owl should install any drivers/software it needs to be used. Now your Meeting Owl is ready to use.
- Place the Owl on the table and adjust as necessary.
- You can turn the sound up or down on the Owl by selecting the plus and minus signs on the device.
- You can mute the Owl by pushing the microphone button with the slash through it. You will see a red bar at the bottom to show it's muted. You will also see it's muted in the conference software as well. Push the same button to unmute.
