Visual Studio Live Share Enabling developers to achieve greater confidence at speed by streamlining collaboration in real-time during development. Learn more! |
While the initial focus of Visual Studio Live Share is real-time collaborative development of Node.js and ASP.NET/ASP.NET Core based web applications and services, many features are broadly available and more will be coming in the future. It is currently in a limited, private preview. Sign up!
Tip: Did you know you can join your own collaboration session? This allows you to try Live Share on your own or to spin up a instance of VS or VS Code and connect to it remotely! You can even use the same identity on both instances. Check it out!
- Share your first project (after you've been accepted into the preview)
- Join your first collaboration session (no need to sign up or be accepted in the preview)
