* 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. To fix this issue, optimize MS Teams for the Meeting Owl.
** Note: This platform does not display in widescreen. This slightly crops the Meeting Owl's 360° panoramic strip and main Stage and can lead to a less than optimal experience.
