Visual Studio Live Share - An extension to collaboratively work in real time
To know more about Visual Studio Live Share and to grab the links to download this extension, continue reading this post.
Using the Visual Studio Live Share extension you and your teammates can collaboratively edit multiple files in a workspace and debug the application. While the co-editing is in progress, both the parties can immediately see the changes made by each other. But in debug session, the context remains within that user's context only.
The extension uses end-to-end encryption between you and your teammates by establishing a secure connection. The shared code resides within the developers machine who initiates the share and never gets uploaded or stored in cloud or any other server. While using code collaboration using this extension, make sure that both the parties have active internet connection available.
