Millions of people are infected and hundred thousand are dead cause of the new coronavirus Covid-19. In order to break the chain of infection, government has instructed to Movement Control Order. Thus, all nonessential activities were put to a halt including higher education institutions. Ministry of Higher Education have suggested to move teaching and learning into online. Google Meet is a free video conference platform that can be used by Google account users. In the meantime, several devices such as iPad supported with Apple Pencil can also be used to teach during the lecture through Google Meet where live screen of iPad’s note can be shared through Google Meet to transmit live video to remote students. Therefore, this paper is aims to present a method of remotely teaching calculus through video conference using Google Meet platform. The study also explored the preference and perceived ease of use of Google Meet through a set of questionnaire. This study found that high preference and positive acceptance from the students regarding remote teaching with Google Meet.
