Great overview of pair programming. I've used Live Share with VS Code a few times and agree it's great. There's also a version of it that's built into the full Visual Studio too - very useful.

When pair programming locally, I've found it helpful in the past to have two keyboards plugged into the development machine - one for each person. I found it helped make things smoother when both parties could type without having to interrupt the other for keyboard control.
