I find remote collaboration with shared screens and headsets much more productive than sitting next to each other. You can quickly jump back and forth between the shared screen and other activities while collaborating.

We also do this even when being in the same room, just because the screen sharing is so powerful compared to physically sharing a display and a keyboard.

Also, you can quickly and easily call in any number of people and everyone can easily read everything on the screen.

I find this perfect for mentoring, pair programming, demonstrations, meetings, etc.

You don't have to go fetch your coworkers and drag them to your desk to show them something.

Also, you can quickly see if the coworker is busy in another session, or set your own status to busy if you need to work uninterrupted for a while. This is not possible when physically in the same location (unless you have a door you can close). People will still come up to you and interrupt you with a "quick" question, derailing your thoughts. A virtual call can simply be ignored.
