Abstract
As the Covid-19 virus started to emerge in the beginning of March 2020, organizations and businesses worldwide had to change their work environments.

As the Covid-19 virus started to emerge in the beginning of March 2020, organizations and businesses worldwide had to change their work environments. Due to the obvious physical risks that the virus brought, employees all over the world were forced to practice work through re- mote spaces instead of regular office situated environments. This instant demand for isolation erased the face-to-face communication that is occurring naturally in regular offices. In order to maintain communication with fellow employees and colleagues, software communication tools such as Microsoft Teams and Zoom became increasingly popular. Today in 2022, most of the companies worldwide are able to return to the office, but these tools are still being widely used through remote work. As this practice seems to remain as a flexible alternative to regular office work, this study aims to investigate how the acceptance of these communication tools have been during the pandemic. Through qualitative interviews that are based on theory regarding the specific technology acceptance models of TAM and UTAUT, this study aims to contribute valuable knowledge to the field of remote work and online communication.
