Related to #2 and #4.

Currently VS Live Share allows anyone with an invite link to sign in and join a collaboration session. The invite link identifier is only valid while collaboration session is active (so time is a factor), is large, and non-guessable which increases the overall security of the approach. However, while this is convenient and reduces friction for guests some individuals may want to lock down to specific individuals instead.

As a stepping stone we could allow hosts to set invite link access limits to a specific set of email addresses and/or GitHub user names. Guests would then need to sign in with credentials associated with one of these emails or user names to join.

This has been addressed now that direct invitations (via the Contacts pane) are now limited to the user that was invited 👍
