Sixty valid questionnaires were collected from third-year undergraduate students majoring in visual communication design at a public university in Chengdu. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the data. Results: The results of the study showed that students’ participation in course design/structure was statistically significant on students’ Tencent conferencing for online classroom satisfaction, p < 0.001. furthermore, the test also found that Teachers’ self-efficacy (β = 0.055, p = 0.487 ), and student self-regulation (β = 0.056, p = 0.492) did not significantly influence Students’ satisfaction towards online class using Tencent meeting. Conclusions: The results of the study showed that most of the visual communication design students were satisfied with the use of Tencent meeting for the online class, and the students could learn, communicate, and collaborate well through this platform, which provided a satisfactory learning experience for the students.
