Getting started is really simple:

1. Click the "add person" icon in the top-right editor corner (or hit Ctrl + Shift + Y) and select "Start Session".
2. Choose permissions:
   • "Read-only" lets others only watch you.
   • "Edit files" is needed for pairing. Note that this allows remote partners to, well, edit files. Do not use with untrusted people.
   • If you want to both use the RubyMine terminals, you'll need to pick "Full access". Note that this allows remote partners to access your computer! E.g. when you're away fetching a coffee. Only use with people you truly trust.
3. Share the link with the people you want to collaborate with.

All related controls will appear around the "add person" icon once a session is running.
