The spread of COVID-19 has changed the way education was conducted. Online learning is widely used to overcome the spread of the virus and adapt with the new norms. Video conferencing through Google Meet platform is one of the ways to conduct online learning. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine factors influencing the acceptance of Google Meet platform for learning sessions. Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was used as a theoretical model for this study since it is widely used in the study of technology acceptance. The data was collected using questionnaires that had been distributed to students who were involved in a teaching and learning session for December 2020 at Kolej Komuniti Bagan Datuk. The finding of this study stated that there is positive medium correlation between these independent variables (perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use) and the acceptance of Google Meet platform. This means, when students perceive Google Meet is useful and easy to use, they will accept it. This study helps instructors to recognize the effectiveness of the Google Meet platform used in delivering their classes.
