In my experience I find pair programming with collaborative tools like VSCode's "Liveshare" [], paired with audio-only call (Slack huddle, Google meet, what have you), far superior than in person pair programming.

I executed an entire project which was pretty much non-stop pair programming over Zoom and Teamviewer. Was the most productive I've ever been on that particular system, and trying to physically be in the same room would've only been a negative.
