Blog Article


Owl Labs makes some cool video conference tools. From small meetings to big boardroom setups, they help people see and hear each other clearly—even in different cities. But, like any tech product, things can go wrong sometimes.

Don't worry, though. 

 

Most issues with Owl Labs devices are super easy to fix. Let's review common problems and learn how to solve them without stress. And if you're in the UAE, Evig, an AV Solutions company in Dubai, can help you with support, setup, and service for all Owl Labs products.

No Sound During the Call? Try This


Sometimes, you can see the person on the other side but can't hear them.

  • First, check if your laptop or screen volume is turned up.

  • Ensure the Meeting Owl or Owl Bar is selected as the speaker in your call settings.

  • If the sound is still missing, unplug the Owl device and plug it back in.

  • Restart your video call and check again.


People Can't Hear You? Don't Panic


If others say they can't hear your voice, it's often a small fix.

  • Check if your microphone is on in your meeting app (Zoom, Google Meet, etc.).

  • See if the Owl is selected as the mic input.

  • Move closer to the Owl, especially in a big room.

  • Clean the microphone holes with a dry cloth if they look dusty.


Camera Not Working? Here's a Quick Fix


Your screen may say "no video," or you may see a black screen.

  • Make sure the USB cable is connected properly.

  • Try another USB port on your computer.

  • Close other apps that might be using your camera.

  • If the Owl's eye light isn't on, unplug the power and wait 10 seconds before reconnecting.


Blurry or Fuzzy Video? Clear It Up


The camera should show a clear image, but sometimes the video looks bad.

  • Make sure the lens is clean. Use a soft cloth to wipe it.

  • The image may look dark or fuzzy if the lights are too bright behind you.

  • Try moving the Owl to a better spot with good lighting.

  • If using the Owl Bar, give it a minute—it adjusts focus automatically.


Device Not Connecting? Check These First


If your Owl device isn't showing up on your computer or in the meeting app:

  • Make sure all cables are connected firmly.

  • Try a different cable if you have one.

  • Restart your computer.

  • Update the Owl app or software—it often fixes connection issues.


App Isn't Detecting the Owl? Here's What to Do


The Owl app helps you set up and control your Owl device. If it's not working:

  • Check your Wi-Fi. Make sure both your phone and Owl are on the same network.

  • Turn Bluetooth off and on again.

  • Restart the app.

  • Uninstall and reinstall it if needed.


The Owl Isn't Turning On? Try This First


Sometimes the lights on your Owl don't turn on at all.

  • Make sure the power cable is fully plugged in.

  • Try another power outlet.

  • Use the original adapter that came with the device.

  • If it still hasn't started, contact Evig, an AV Solutions company in Dubai, for support.


Meeting Room Echo? Let's Fix That


If you hear your voice echoing, it can be annoying.

  • Lower the speaker volume just a bit.

  • Ask remote users to mute themselves when not speaking.

  • Make sure only one Owl device is active in the room.

  • Rooms with too many hard surfaces can bounce sound—add curtains or carpets to help.


Update the Device for Better Performance


Like phones and laptops, Owl Labs devices need updates too.

  • Open the Owl app and check for updates.

  • Follow the steps to install the latest version.

  • Updates often fix bugs and improve sound and video.
