live-share
A real-time collaborative development tool that enables developers to share and edit code together directly within Visual Studio and VS Code.
What is live-share?
Visual Studio Live Share is a real-time collaborative development extension that enables developers to share coding sessions directly from their local IDEs. It allows multiple developers to edit, debug, and review code together simultaneously within Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code, eliminating the need to share screens or synchronize environments manually. The tool helps teams collaborate more effectively during pair programming, code reviews, and onboarding sessions.
Development teams, educators, and technical leads who need to collaborate on code in real-time without disrupting individual development workflows. It's particularly valuable for distributed teams, remote pair programming, and mentoring scenarios.
Developers choose Live Share because it integrates collaboration directly into their familiar development environments without requiring environment synchronization or repository cloning. Unlike screen sharing tools, it preserves individual editor preferences and provides granular control over shared resources while maintaining security and privacy.
