Founded in 2014, Owl Labs is a technology company that specializes in innovative video conferencing solutions designed to support hybrid and remote collaboration. The company's mission is to make hybrid and remote work more inclusive, collaborative, and productive by using intelligent video and audio technology. The company aims to eliminate the disconnect between remote and in-person team members by creating smart video conferencing tools that simulate being in the same room.

The company is best known for its flagship product, the Meeting Owl, a 360-degree smart video conferencing camera that automatically focuses on the person speaking, creating a more natural meeting experience for remote participants. This product is used especially in education, business, and hybrid work environments.

Owl Labs publishes an annual “State of Remote Work” report which offers insights into hybrid and remote work trends based on survey research.
