Pair the Owl Bar with a Meeting Owl for bigger rooms
The Meeting Owl Bar works on its own at the front of the room, and through the Meeting Owl app it pairs with a Meeting Owl 3 or Meeting Owl 4+ on the table (Owl Connect) so the two act as one system in long or L-shaped rooms. A Whiteboard Owl can join as the third device to share the whiteboard live — Owl Labs allows up to three devices in one pairing, and the third must be a Whiteboard Owl.
Place the table Owl 1.2–2.5 m from the Bar with clear line of sight; both devices on the same software version. Pairing extends coverage by about 2.5 m in any direction, and a Meeting Owl Expansion Mic on the table Owl adds another 2.5 m of audio pickup.
Wired or wireless? The Owl Bar pairs wirelessly in the Meeting Owl app, and with a Meeting Owl 4+ it can also pair by Ethernet cable (Owl Labs specifies a USB-C to Ethernet adapter on the Owl 4+ and a Cat5e or better cable; the devices still sit 1.2 to 2.5 m apart). Pairing with a Meeting Owl 3 or a Whiteboard Owl is wireless only. The Owl Bar does not pair with another Owl Bar or with the Meeting Owl 5 Pro, which pairs only with another 5 Pro.
