Can someone explain the actual use of sharing a terminal with someone while not being in person with them (in which case they could just watch you and shotgun the keyboard?)? I can't imagine watching someone else's terminal session without them talking about what they're doing and why would be particularly informative or help with onboarding. Maybe it's just one of those things that work for some people and not others?

Phone/skype, text chat, ...? (general screen-sharing software of course is an option, but often kind of a pain and if you really only want to share a terminal this might be faster and is by design limited to the terminal)
You call them. You don't need to literally sit next to them to hear them.
Yes this is intended to be used with an audio link.
