The Lived Experiences of Higher Education teachers in the online practice teaching amidst the Covid-19 were examined in the study. A phenomenological qualitative study that collected data through interviews. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, and examined thematically. Themes, sub-themes, and important assertions were identified during the data analysis. In-depth individual interviews were used to gather data. The guide questions were employed by the researcher, who subsequently analyzed them. The Problems encountered by Higher education teachers are passive learners, limited teaching approaches and strategies, online cheating, not user-friendly software, tardiness in submitting requirements, the kind of gadgets used by the students, and  maintaining discipline online. Hence, teachers were so stressed, they experienced anxiety, worry and there was fear of uncertainty. As college teachers teaching online during the epidemic, this lived experience prepared the path for their coping strategies. They pursued new interests and hobbies, took a break from social media and listened to inspirational songs/videos. Schools are also being urged to reinforce the curriculum's practices, conduct webinars and virtual meetings regarding mental health and well-being, and craft educational policies to strengthen management and curricular systems of the college /university.
