I really hope I'm not being the "Dropbox is just rsync" guy, here, but...how is this preferable to the host screen-sharing via that same meeting or chat app?

However, from the few times I've used VS Live Share, it has been helpful being able to join into someone's coding session and pair with their code directly. Both of us being able to highlight and tweak lines as we're talking did wonders to remove the "add x, no, sorry, not there, the next line/parameter/<item I referenced too vaguely>" or "show me y, now z, wait, go back to y" song and dance routines.
It's not necessarily a game changer for the way every person or team works, but as someone who has an easier time forming a mental model of everything happening when I'm "in" the code, there have been times I think it's saved a lot of back-and-forth compared to a traditional screen share.
Higher quality at lower bandwidth, should handle different screen sizes more elegantly
