Editor Extensions

While Visual Studio Live Share provides a rich collaborative experience out-of-the-box (e.g. editing, debugging, terminals, localhost servers), it's also fully extensible, which enables 3^rd party extensions to augment it in new and interesting ways. Check out the following extensions in order to up-level your Live Coding collaboration sessions:

Visual Studio Code

Chat / Communication

• CodeStream - Provides an integrated chat and rich commenting system, that includes the ability to easily spin up Live Share sessions from a chat thread.
• Discord Presence - Allows other Discord users to easily spectate and/or join your active Live Share sessions (example).
• Live Share Audio - Provides integrated audio calling for Live Share sessions, without needing to use a seperate service (example).

Drawing

• Drawio Integration - Provides a rich diagraming canvas, that includes a fully collaborative experience, including shared cursors for all participants (example).
• Live Share Whiteboard - Provides a real-time, collaborative whiteboard to Live Share sessions (example).

Miscellaneous

• Chronicler - Allows you to automatically record a video of your Live Share sessions, for later use/reference (e.g. sharing with the team).
• Profile Switcher - Allows you to define a settings profile that is activated/deactivated when you start/end a Live Share session (example).
