Digital tools for working from home
Last changed: 11 February 2022
At SLU you have access to several digital tools that make it possible to work from home. The tools mentioned in the text are available for all employees at SLU.
SLU:s tools for working from home
VPN
VPN is used to connect to systems and services that is usually only available users connecting from the office. However, it is important to note that many of the most common systems do not require VPN to work. Examples of such systems are:
- Documents and files that are already synced to your computer.
- Teams
- OneDrive
- Zoom
- Outlook
- Web browser
You can find more information about how to install and use VPN in the link below.

To avoid overloading the VPN, we ask you who work with uploaded files to download these locally to your computer and then disconnect you from VPN. At the end of the day or when you have finished the document, you will reconnect with VPN to synchronize the work. Instructions on how to do this can be found in the link below.

Videomeetings
Teams
Teams is strongly recommended as the main tool for video meetings as it can also be used for text chat as well as common workspaces.

Outlook video meetings
Outlook video meetings work well for internal video and voice calls. However, the service can become inaccessible / difficult to reach at unusually high loads and therefore we recommend using one of the above services in the first place.
