Zoom

Last changed: 18 January 2024

With Zoom, you can study with your classmates over video, for example when you have group work.

Zoom will also be used for distance lectures so it is good if you are familiar with the tool.

Please remember to always sign in to Zoom with your SLU account through Single Sign-On (SSO) when you are using Zoom. Type "slu-se" in the SSO box.

How do I get access to Zoom?

If you have an SLU-computer you can find the Zoom-client for PC in Software Center, or if you use Mac you find it in Self Service. If you are a student, you can find it here: studentsharet.

The first time you sign in, you will need to install the Zoom Client on your computer.

You will come to the page for the university's joint web login where you log in (Sign In with SSO). You have now activated your Zoom account.
To use Zoom, you also need to install the client. Go to http://slu-se.zoom.us and select the Download Client option at the bottom of the page.
