Visual Studio Live Share Collaboration

Tools for Collaboration have been evolving and improving over the decades.

I've been keeping an eye of new capabilities in the corporate environment, but never had an opportunity to use them.

Today, with Google's Gemini (Flash 2.5) as a guide, I decided to learn about the Visual Studio Live Share feature.

Set up was relatively easy, once we sorted out which account to use.  My old (ancient) Microsoft account never did connect, but my brand new github account worked quickly and easily, after a mandatory email authentication step.

I'm impressed and am looking forward to finding an opportunity to use this tool in combination with Zoom or Google Meeting.

The system allows two (or more) people in different locations on Earth (or in space no doubt) to work on the same program simultaneously.

This topic will be available for NewMars members who might wish to help to build up a collection of links, images and text around this theme.

As a note of possible interest... Each online share session involves exchange of an encrypted string of data.  This key can be exchanged by email or via the chat service in Zoom or Google Meet.   In the context of NewMars, that key can be exchanged via our existing post update process, such as we use now for Google Meet or Zoom sessions.

The key is only good for one session for security reasons, but I don't see that as a problem, and i like the security aspect of the policy.
