When to Choose Poly Studio X72
Large conference rooms (14-20+ people) that need a premium all-in-one solution with native platform support
The Poly Studio X72 is the flagship all-in-one video bar for large conference rooms. Its dual-camera AI Director system handles big rooms with ease, and the integrated compute means no separate PC is needed for Zoom or Teams Rooms. The price is steep, but for large-room deployments, the X72 delivers enterprise-grade quality.
Strengths
- Dual-camera system with AI Director for intelligent framing of up to 20+ participants
- Exceptional audio with NoiseBlockAI and Acoustic Fence technology
- Native Zoom, Teams, and open SIP support — no external compute needed
- Premium build quality with versatile wall-mount and table-stand options
Limitations
- Premium price at $6,999 is a significant investment
- Large form factor may not suit smaller rooms
- Requires Poly Lens for full remote management capabilities
When to Choose Meeting Owl 4+
Small-to-medium teams that want a 360-degree view with zero-install setup and broad platform compatibility
The Meeting Owl 4+ remains the most proven 360-degree conference camera on the market. The tabletop form factor is genuinely unique — just plug USB into a laptop and every participant around the table is visible. With the Owl 5 Pro now announced, pricing may become more attractive. A strong choice for hybrid meeting equity.
Strengths
- 360-degree 4K camera with automatic speaker tracking and split-view framing
- USB plug-and-play — works instantly with Zoom, Teams, Meet, and any platform
- Compact tabletop design requires zero installation or mounting
- Owl Labs Nest management platform for fleet monitoring
Limitations
- Audio pickup optimized for ~8 people — struggles in larger rooms
- 360-degree video can feel disorienting for remote participants initially
- Being superseded by Meeting Owl 5 Pro — may see reduced support over time
