Many higher educational institutes adopted digital tools to facilitate teaching and learning activities online due to COVID-19 pandemic. Among them, university academics had to rely on Zoom Meetings for teaching even if Zoom is generally used as a virtual communication tool. In order to identify future developments in implementing online education strategies, studying the perceptions of academics in using Zoom Meetings for teaching is essential. Therefore, in the present study, Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology was adopted to identify the significant factors contributing to university academics' intention to continuously use Zoom Meetings for teaching. A sample survey was conducted using a random sample of 350 university academics from Arts and Management faculties of selected state universities in Sri Lanka. Self-enumeration method was used instrumenting a structured questionnaire to collect data. Structural Equation Modelling approach was used to analyse data. It was revealed that university academics' intention to continuously use Zoom Meetings for teaching is positively associated with performance expectancy, effort expectancy and social influence and is indirectly associated with facilitating conditions through positive mediating effect of effort expectancy. These findings make important implications on software developers, educational administrators, policymakers, and researchers in different perspectives.
