For Audio and Video the easiest solution is to use the laptops camera, microphone, and speaker
For better quality you can use an external webcam for video and audio input. Audio output will still be the laptop speakers. It will plug into your laptops USB port.
If a presenter is in the front of the room you can position the webcam to face them. The webcam could also capture writing on a whiteboard.
In most cases the webcam will be detected and used automatically but if needed you can check if it is the Audio input source

An OWL is a good option for meetings where you want multiple people in the room to be seen and heard. Either around a table or with a presenter in front with people giving input from around the room. The front video quality will not be as good at capturing information on a whiteboard as a webcam. Unlike the webcam the OWL also has built in speaker for better audio output quality.
If you need to connect the USB and Power cables to the OWL they connect on the underside
