If you spend your time trying to account for every mistake someone might make, you're going to waste an awful lot of your life.

Most people spend only a tiny amount of time sharing their screen on a call. The people who do a lot of it are well-practiced in managing their notifications.

There's no good reason to make your normal communication worse for the sake of avoiding such a rare problem.

Not normal communication, confidential or contentious communication.

“Hey, could you send me a link to the Jones file?” or “When do we need to get the Acme Corp RfP response out by?” I would just fire over.

“John says the financials don’t work on the Bravo Inc renewal, can you take a look?” or “Jenny’s not doing great on her PIP, we might need to move to the next step”, I would be more careful with.
