The COVID-19 pandemic caused a shift in many people's activities to the digital realm. Video conferencing applications such as Zoom, Google Meet, Skype, and others became widely used for work-related meetings or online schooling.
However, internet usage for online meetings or schooling in Indonesia remains surprisingly low. This is evident from the results of the *Status Literasi Digital Indonesia 2021* survey released by the Ministry of Communication and Informatics in collaboration with the Katadata Insight Center (KIC).
The survey revealed that 70.1% of respondents had never used the internet for online meetings or schooling.
Furthermore, 13.40% of respondents rarely engaged in such activities, and 9.10% very rarely.
Only 6.5% of respondents frequently used online video conferencing for these purposes, while a mere 0.9% reported very frequent use.
This survey, conducted in October 2021, employed a face-to-face interview methodology.
The survey sample comprised 10,000 respondents from 34 provinces and 514 regencies/cities across Indonesia. All respondents were Indonesian citizens aged 13-70 years who had accessed the internet within the past three months.
The survey has a margin of error of +/- 0.98% with a 95% confidence level, using a multistage random sampling method.
