Leostream

Leostream is a secure way of remotely connecting to our on-campus Windows and Linux devices, and using the software installed on those devices, all from your own computer.

Leostream means you don't have to worry about using software that requires a paid license or a high-end computer.

Please note

Please note: This year, Leostream is available to students on specific courses only. This helps to ensure there are enough computers available for use safely on campus.

How to use LeoStream

The first time you use Leostream, you need to download the ‘Remote Boost Receiver’ client application. Once you’ve done that, every time you use Leostream, you’ll download a small file that will let you connect to a remote computer. 

The videos and guides below will talk you through these steps, and help with any errors or difficulties you might experience.
