- Google Hangouts
- Google Meet
- Go To Meeting
- Skype
- Skype for Business

The following platforms have been tested to work with the Meeting Owl as of December 2017:
- 3CX
- Appear.in

* Note: When a certain number of participants is present, Microsoft Teams crops the video output in order to fit all participants on the screen. This can lead to a less than optimal experience as this crops the Meeting Owl's 360° panoramic strip and main Stage.
