I found peer programming to work better remotely... as long as I had two or more monitors.

I can put my partners view on one monitor, and my view on the other monitor and seamlessly work alongside them. But in person, it's difficult to get a good view because I need to physically look over the persons shoulder or get out of my seat just to get a good view of what is happening.

Even when I do work in person with someone, we just work remotely from our cubicles lol

What solution do you use? Currently using teams & this isn't natively possible (ifaik, but maybe a meeting + direct chat together could achieve this?)

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "isn't natively possible".

I think the only downside to teams is it being limited to a single screen share. We've used google meets and we were able to do multi-share.

At the moment though, I only have one partner, so meets is able to serve our needs. And of course we do use voice chat while sharing screens.
