9. Sometimes You Need to See it to Believe it
At the end of the day, why do we invest in video conferencing?
To see each other. Everyone (including the people on the
call) need to be able to see facial expressions and body
language in order to have an effective conversation.
The Meeting Owl helps the people on the call nearly feel
like they’re in the same room. It’s unlike anything else out
there -- especially at its price point.
