If you do TDD, give ping pong pairing a try. One person writes a test, the other implements the test. Commit between non-passing test and passing implementation. Switch places, repeat. In this way you don't have to rely on controlling the ux of a remote machine and you can just rely on the screen sharing video and voice communication.
