"Over the shoulder" reviews sound like they are halfway between code reviews and pair programming.

Code reviews usually mean someone taking an independent look at their own pace, though quick turnaround is always great. You can get classic reviews by simply mandating approvals on pull requests on any system you are using.

You can also get halfway with screen sharing developer's IDE, though if a reviewer doesn't get to easily jump around the codebase, it's not really the same thing (though it's equivalent to what you've been doing in person).

I found screen sharing to work well for pair programming, so I don't see why it wouldn't work for live reviews either.
