(I haven't used it, just browsed documentation. My questions are based on no experience.)

This looks really cool. I've done a couple live coding streams with someone working with me as a sort of collaborative effort. I see a lot of potential for this replacing live streams for this sort of thing. Do I have to know every guest? Can I provide a link for viewing guests to access?

It looks like the current implementation is either fully open or read-only for all guests. There seems to be no way to ... "assign roles". Am I wrong?




We actually see folks using Live Share for streaming all the time. What you can do is share in read-only mode, and then explicitly grant read-write access to specific participants. That way, you can give the session link to your viewers, and allow them to interact with the code, while only allowing specific guests to edit.


That sounds really ideal. Thanks for the response.
