When to Choose Poly Studio X32

Huddle rooms and small meeting spaces (2-8 people) that want Poly's integrated compute and AI features at a lower price

The Poly Studio X32 brings Poly's all-in-one approach to smaller rooms at a much more accessible price point. NoiseBlockAI and integrated Zoom/Teams compute are included, and Poly Lens management works identically to the larger models. The best entry point into Poly's ecosystem for smaller spaces.

Strengths

  • Compact all-in-one with integrated Zoom and Teams compute at an accessible price
  • Same NoiseBlockAI and Acoustic Fence as higher-end Poly models
  • Poly Lens cloud management included for enterprise deployment
  • Ideal for huddle rooms and small meeting spaces

Limitations

  • Limited to ~8 participants — not suitable for medium or large rooms
  • Single camera limits AI framing capabilities compared to X52/X72
  • Audio pickup range designed for small spaces only

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  • Being superseded by Meeting Owl 5 Pro — may see reduced support over time
