Understanding VS Live Share

VS Live Share is a real-time collaboration tool for programmers that use VS and VS Code. Live Share was launched as an extension for VS 2017, with some trial features available at that time. In VS 2022, it is included by default and contains all the features.

Live Share is completely free and can also be used in VS Code by installing an extension that you can find at this link: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=MS-vsliveshare.vsliveshare.

Live Share has tools to edit, debug, share terminals, and execute projects for remote developers. We don't need to clone the repository or install additional extensions to see code and interact with it.

To complement the information provided during this chapter and the functionalities that you will review in the next section, you can read the documentation at this URL: https://docs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/liveshare/.

These kinds of collaboration tools are not new. Other IDEs have extensions...
