Surely you'd want to instead share a link to the logs being investigated so others can investigate concurrently, instead of having 2 backseat drivers observe someone observing logs.

Depends. In some situations it would in fact be better to have everyone discuss one person's shared screen, instead of having to constantly coordinate what they are talking about.
+1 Depending on how complex the system/tooling is, it is rarely just one log file to share in a text editor.

If you have logs, metrics, tracing, other dashboards for context you want to see how they are debugging.

Some of these tools are very complex and other eyes can help pinpoint inefficiencies.
