Determine the best location for your Owl
In a small huddle room that fits two to four people, place the Owl in the center of the table, at least 12 inches from the TV. If you're meeting in a larger conference room (up to 15 feet by 20 feet), place the Owl in the center of the table. The Meeting Owl should be at least 3ft (1m) from the TV, but no more than 8ft (2.5m) from the farthest participant to ensure that they can be displayed on the Owl's Main Stage.
In classrooms, the Meeting Owl Pro can be placed on a desk at the front of the room. The Owl can also be mounted to a tripod and positioned in the center of the room for an equalized learning experience.
Feel free to experiment with the placement of the Owl to best suit your needs.

Troubleshooting an issue
If you find that the owl is not acting as expected, try the following in no particular order:
Unplug the USB from the computer and plug it back in.
Unplug the micro-USB from the bottom of the meeting owl and plug it back in.
Unplug the power cable from the bottom of the meeting owl and plug it back in.
Unplug the power cable from the outlet and try a different outlet.
