Metode penelitian ini menggunakan tipe penelitian studi eksplorasi dengan pendekatan kuantitatif dan kualitatif. Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan teknik survey dengan memakai instrumen kuesioner skala 5 Likert dan terbuka. Teknik penentuan partisipan menggunakan purposive sampling. Terdapat dua analisis data yaitu analisis data milik Miles dan Huberman dan teknik analisis desktriptif kuantitatif melalui perhitungan persentase. Hasil dari penelitian menunjukkan preferensi persepsi mereka terhadap media video conference sangatlah membantu dalam pembelajaran secara daring dan menumbuhkembangkan minat pelajar. Dalam aspek pedagogi, pembelajar memberikan penjelasan materi secara jelas, namun dalam penggunaan video conference belum sepenuhnya efektif dikarenakan adanya masalah kualitas koneksi yang akhirnya memotong waktu pembelajaran dan interaksi seperti tanya jawab maupun diskusi pun hanya diberikan apabila terdapat sisa waktu dalam pembelajaran. Adapun harapan para pelajar diantaranya, yaitu pembelajaran dengan terlibat langsung seperti praktik, mendemonstrasikan dengan memanfaatkan alat peraga serta adanya peningkatan kualitas video visual, gambar dan suara dalam penggunaan video conference. Implikasi penelitian ini diantaranya adalah penggunaan video conference ini sangatlah membantu komunikasi pelajar dalam pembelajaran secara daring dan cenderung menumbuhkembangkan minat pelajar dan selaras dengan kebijakan Kemendikbud berkaitan pelaksanaan kebijakan pendidikan dalam masa darurat penyebaran Covid-19.
