Out of curiosity, what doesn't work for you with Code With Me? The only thing I can think of is that the "client" also needs to have Code With Me installed, instead of a possible browser integration like VSCode has.

Code With Me is amazing except when it doesn’t completely work it doesn’t work at all.

Command + click doesn’t always work if there’s a lot of latency, many times the „follow other developer“ feature turns off randomly, often the search breaks or doesn’t work at all, the video & audio inside the IDE causes lag and massive amounts of load (so much that many of our devs switched to discord).

For what it’s worth it works mostly great when the developers pairing together are in the same country, but it’s pretty bad when i.e. a developer from Berlin, Germany pairs with one from Columbus, Ohio. So I guess it’s a latency problem.

Ah got it, that indeed does sound like it needs some work still. Thanks for the reply!
Code with Me working or not is completely a tossup. I ended up paying for another service completely despite me having access to Code with me because it was never reliable. Me and the other user were having issues with it connecting 1/3 times and that's never fun having to waste time fixing a tool.
OUCH! could you please specify in what region and when have you experienced such a terrible connection?
My coworker was in North Africa and I was in France.
