How about pricing?

#42Very nice, super impressed about the fact that VS and VSCode can work together like that.
Re: Visual Studio Live Share
#43Super no thanks. There's too much risk in this work for bloaty, spying type code to land in the editor because of this. I'm sure the team at Microsoft is super talented, but this seems like an awful product direction.
Strong second. I love visual studio, and visual studio code, but this particular feature would be extremely irritating. I'd also worry that it would promote awful development models like Pivotal's pair programming take on agile, which has always struck me as creepy and totalitarian.
But if you don't want to you don't enable it. You need to actively enable this feature in order for it to generate link with your code.
I don't see the problem there.

#44Atom announced "Teletype" today: https://blog.atom.io/2017/11/15/code-together-in-real-time-w...
It's really exciting to see the energy being directed at improving developer collaboration!
Re: Visual Studio Live Share
#45Please, please make a headless mode for this! My ideal use case would be to run this on a development VM and be able to connect to it with my VS Code and debug live on the VM. This would be a much better experience than rsync-ing your changes on every run.
My thoughts as well, I can't imagine they haven't thought of it, here's hoping, especially since the PM commented in this thread.

Please, I beg you, do NOT try to replicate this feature. Get back to fixing the critical bugs and slowdown of the os, xcode and swift toolchains.

That FAQ seems fairly vague - what I'm looking for is simply how connections are established - can I simply point the thing at another copy of VSCode running in my LAN? Or do I have to involve Microsoft servers on the internet for session setup? Is the connection directly between us or via an MS server? What encryption is performed and where? Can a Microsoft employee or someone who compromises them theorically gain a…
PM from MS here. Authentication and authorization is managed by a cloud service but your code is not persisted in the cloud. The service optimizes for the most high perf connection possible via an encrypted channel with the cloud being one option. We intend to allow customers to lock down their invite links as well as they so choose.
First off, pretty cool stuff. MS is definitely killing it on the editor front lately.
Going to throw in another +1 here for being able to self-host the connection resolution. Without that I don't think I'll ever be able to make use of this.
I realize it's a large ask but if you're serious about driving adoption of VSCode, MSVC and other MS tech I think that would be a huge boon to a lot of your users.

#48PM on the Visual Studio Live Share team here. Thanks for posting! We're really excited to hear folks thoughts about this experience, how it can help improve their existing team collaboration workflows, and how we can continue to improve/learn. So please sign up and/or let us know what you think :) We've heard pretty loud and clear that developers want better collaboration tools, without needing to switch editors, wit…
Does it use any external services to perform the sharing ? Can I run it on a vpn? What port does it use ?

Haha. Agree. My xcode8 cannot remark line

It would have been even better to include at least some idea of the expected release time or availability of the preview. It's hard to believe there is so much detail on the feature set, a big website to promote this and nobody at Microsoft has any certainty when this might be out.
We will be releasing a private preview of the feature early in 2018. You can sign up for it here: http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/vsliveshare
Yes, I saw that but -
It doesn't mention a date.
It only says 'may'.
It asks for an email "For a Microsoft enabled work or school, personal Microsoft, or GitHub account", which is not particularly clear.
The form and data goes to some 'hubspot.com', rather than to Microsoft. It is default-blocked by ghostery as a tracker.
The feature looks really interesting, the promo site and the experience of using it is, to use the technical term, poopy.
