Use VS Code LiveShare!

#beginners #vscode

Although Zoom and Hangouts and such are 🆗, we have a better way to work collaboratively in real-time with VS Code.

Just use: 'CTRL/CMD + SHIFT + X' to toggle the extensions fuzzy search, and start typing 'liveshare.' You will C one directly from 'Microsoft' called: Live Share Extension Pack
ms-vsliveshare.vsliveshare-pack. Install it!

Now, on the left side of your screen you should see a shortcut icon as shown here:

Click that icon and you have some options, such as to, "Start collaboration..."

Selecting that will prompt you to do some authorization via GitHub (or an MS account). Then, a 'join link' will be created (see bottom right of your screen).

From there you have options to share a terminal, have inline chat, audio call, etc. 🦄
