In this case, participants can quickly change the code and even work on other files of the project at the same time. You can do simultaneous multi editing of your code with other participants. You can achieve that with the Force Others to Follow You mode. Let's say you need to explain a problem and show your team members different parts of your project.

You can start a session with one of the following basic scenarios: A Code With Me shared session involves the interaction between a host and one or more guests.
