In our customer development we found that the two most common things developers dislike about being remote are:

With Live Share, we tackle both these problems, with an entire suite of your favorite IDE features remoted during the session, and in-built communication channels.
The following five tips will help you use Live Share —from your Visual Studio IDE— for your extended remote work, with all the bells and whistles attached.

The easiest way to start a Live Share session is by using the contacts that populate your Live Share viewlet. Once you share your code with someone, Live Share adds that user to your recent contacts list, enabling you to invite them to any future sessions without the hassle of links.
Tip: Live Share has two session types, which set several defaults for your ease of use. You can explicitly choose a read-only session for your guests.
