0.34.0: With this release, the integration with VS Live Share has now moved into the core VS Live Share extension! Thanks to everyone who tried it out, and helped make it a core experience for using Live Share.

The extension now only supports Slack, Discord and Live Share Spaces as chat providers.

Features

  • Quiet notifications: Chat apps can be painfully distracting. This extension emphasizes on making chat useful, contextual, and without distracting notifications.
  • Rich formatting: Share markdown code snippets, and add emojis to your chat messages.
  • Native look-and-feel: Use chat in your preferred theme and grid editor layout.
