Hi Nick I’ll offer a vote in favour of teams, as it is possible with the desktop application to hand over control as well for a shared window (e.g. NX) so your student could perform the collection themselves under your supervision rather than just watching.
I’ve not tried teams + NX as a combination but I can see no reason why this would not work, it’s not like the network load will be much different to watching a room full of happy faces… you could also try this out in advance, connecting to nx.diamond for e.g. processing and confirming that the screen share works so you lose no time on data collection day. FWIW I prefer zoom for meetings as it’s got better sound & copes better with large groups (IMHO) however for small groups / 1:1 teams has worked quite well in my experience, and I was particularly impressed with the screen sharing.
