Visual Studio Live Share is Microsoft's real-time collaborative development service that lets developers share codebases and edit together from Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code. This repository hosts its documentation, feedback tracking, and related resources.
Use cases
- pair program with a teammate in real time
- share a project so a colleague can join and co-edit
- do remote code reviews or interviews in an editor
- collaborate across VS Code and Visual Studio
- troubleshoot code together without screen sharing
When to choose
- you use Visual Studio or VS Code and want built-in real-time co-editing
- you need shared debugging sessions, terminals, and servers with teammates
- you want collaboration without pushing to a shared repo first
When to avoid
- you use editors other than VS Code or Visual Studio
- you need fully self-hosted collaboration without Microsoft's service
- you only need asynchronous code review via pull requests
