- Install the normal VS Code binary. I did this using the
visual-studio-code-bin
package on AUR for Arch Linux. - Access the Extensions pane in the left-hand sidebar.
- Search for
Live Share
in the extensions search. There are a couple extensions associated with Live Share, but the Live Share Extension Pack will include all of them. - There is now a Live Share affordance in the colored status bar at the bottom of the window. Clicking on it will prompt you to sign in and authenticate via OAuth.
- NOTE! I wasn't able to get Github auth to work. I had to create a Microsoft account and then do auth via Microsoft.
- After going through the OAuth flow, the
Live View
affordance at the bottom will be replaced by the email you used to auth into Microsoft. - Open the directory you want to collaborate on.
- In the menu provided by the Live View affordance, you can copy the invite link for your session to the clipboard.
- Send the link to whomever you want to collaborate with.
