My company prohibited and even remote-force uninstalled zoom and mandated Skype or MS Teams right after the last rash of bad zoom PR.

I feel pretty certain there was coordination from our Microsoft account manager and Microsoft's PR team on this front.

The funny part is that Skype is famous for zero days while zoom is famous for people running pseudo public non-password protected conference calls that got invaded by teenagers.

I tried live share. It didn't work. It didn't not work with a clear error message either. It didn't work by having a loading bar that simply never finished.

The browser version of live code did work, but no. I'm not doing that.

I used to use zoom for pair programming. It got banned because, as you said, Large Enterprise Company. Microsoft lobbied them with "trust us: the company behind skype knows how to write secure software. force uninstall zoom on all your employee computers if you know what's good for you". Microsoft corporate sales are wizards.

Since zoom bombing was a thing and we couldn't be trusted to set our own passwords, I also tried using Microsoft Teams to pair program. It was absolutely unusable (e.g. if you type the keyyyyyyyssssss willlll stickkkkk).

GitDuck is probably lovely. It's a shame neither of us can use it.
