Privacy concerns: how is a public link more secure than a Skype screen share?

And what exactly gets associated to the link? Is it a tunnel straight into my computer? Is it pushing my VS workspace somewhere?

More details please. This seems more appropriate for getting help on small, isolated code snippets rather than collaborating on a project.

We authenticate when people try to use the link. We are exploring ideas on how to enable fine-grain permissions for sharing.

The link is an association between team members who are in a live share session. The workspace (i.e. source files) is not stored in the cloud. During a live share session, the communication is facilitated by an Azure Relay in the cloud. We are also looking at the ability to have peer-to-peer communication if you are on the same network.
