About Chat
Chat for VS Code
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.

Slack
To configure your Slack workspace, run the Sign In with Slack command in VS Code. Are you a Slack workspace admin? Approve this app for your team.
Start a new VS Live Share session within a Slack channel: Use the slash commands /live share and /live end to start and end a session.
Discord
Discord support is experimental. Please see this doc to set it up.
