Abstract: The brisk spread of Covid-19 led educational policymakers and organizations to opt for better alternatives to resume the students' educational journey. In this context, Microsoft Teams remained one of the most devoted and credible online platforms that greatly facilitated the educational process across the globe. Current research also analyzed Microsoft Teams acceptance using the self-proposed conceptual model supported by the Technology Acceptance Model by Davis. We employed the survey method and examined the gathered using the applied Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). Results indicated that there is a significant impact of Covid-19 on the Perceived Ease of Use (p> 0.000) and Perceived Usefulness (p> 0.000). Besides, the relationship between Perceived Ease of Use and Perceived Usefulness also remained significant (p> 0.000). Moreover, the proposed relationship between Attitude, Perceived Ease of Use, and Perceived Usefulness also remained substantial (p> 0.009 and p> 0.000). However, the relationship between Attitude and Behavioral Intention remained insignificant (p> 0.556). Finally, the relationship between Behavioral Intention and Microsoft Teams Acceptance remained significant (p> 0.088). Thus, we concluded that Microsoft Teams is an effective study tool that unites students and instructors in the United Arab Emirates. It governs eLearning experiences and, therefore, provides a virtual environment to students and directly influences our perceptions and behavior.
