14,780 PointsRather than screen sharing, a great way to code-collaborate is to use something like GitHub. You create a repository, invite some people and code together! Each time you make a change, this is called a "commit".
Go ahead and take a look at the Git Basics course if you're interested!
The benefits to GitHub are that you can easily see all of the changes to files on the GitHub website, who made the changes and also, you can roll back changes if something goes wrong. The catch? All of your GitHub projects are public. If you want private projects (Called repositories), you need to pay a subscription.
If you want to take a look at an example project, here is Ribbit that I posted on GitHub.
One thing I want to tell you beforehand though is that you don't code together "live". Instead, changes are synced periodically and each commit is synced back and forth. If you want to see code live then I recommend you use something like Steven Walters recommended.
Hope it helps!
