The article focuses on the study of foreign students’ subjective satisfaction with the results of their education using a video conference. The educational subject is Russian as foreign language. The attitude of students to video lectures was studied using an online questionnaire. The purpose of the study is to assess the methods of organizing video sessions. The study confirmed the general trend towards a decrease in students’ interest in distance learning. According to studies’ results it was stated the pedagogical conditions to ensure satisfaction with video lessons at a sufficient level. To maintain interest in a video lesson, we suggest preparing basic materials and materials for self-study. All texts should be converted to electronic format and placed in special repositories. During the video lesson, it is recommended to alternate activities (listening, speaking, writing, reading) and visualization. Although videoclips, pictures and presentations were received favorably by students it was pointed a decline in interest to these training facilities. It is suggested to record planned and spontaneous explanations in video recordings and text. The results of the study have been applied in educational process for Russian students.
