You forgot THE biggest issue, I am constantly struggling with: when sharing your screen and giving control, your keyboard layout stays the same. So, when in my case: I have QWERTY, because the languages are built using this layout, while my colleagues have QWERTZ, because - hey Germany. With LiveShare that doesn‘t matter anymore.
I build developer tools and services at Microsoft (currently Codespaces, Live Share, IntelliCode) and maintain some OSS projects (CodeTour, GistPad, CodeSwing, WikiLens)
Good point! I use the phrase “Share context, not screens” since it’s a little punchier. But in reality, it’s the screen + keyboard 😁 I mentioned keybindings already, but will update the article to mention keyboard layout as well. Thanks!
