I see! Thanks for the clarification. Though I don't know of a service, I have seen this in the wild before. I would say you wouldn't need a side by side view of both dev's screens as you'd probably both be looking at the same thing during pair programming. And editor's like VSCode can show text highlighting from all users currently in the Share session. With that in mind, you could just make sure you're capturing your screen and their audio for the stream.

Streaming development is a pretty common occurrence as well, both in web development and in game development as far as I've seen. I don't think I've seen a lot of pair programming sessions streamed during these broadcasts, so I think that would be an interesting addition to the formula. I would, however, be warry as to keep the audience in mind during that time. You'll have to juggle keeping your audience "in the conversation" while you're working with your partner. Otherwise the audience becomes somewhat of a third wheel lol

This does seem fun! I pair program with a small discord and stream it through the discord. Wouldn't be much of a jump to connect these streams up to twitch to make it more public.

Good thoughts! Great things to keep in mind. I've already done a test run of sorts streaming via twitch and my setup should work with the share + audio portion. I think it would be fun, I just need to get some free time to run another stream but let people know this time.
