Chat with your Slack and Discord teams from within VS Code
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.
