Use this interactive demo to learn how to open and use the GitHub Copilot Chat feature in Visual Studio.

‍

‍

Here’s how to do it:

‍

  1. Open Visual Studio, navigate to GitHub Copilot Chat, and click "Sign up for Copilot free" to get started.
  2. Enter your GitHub username and password in the sign-in box.
  3. Hit "Sign in" to proceed—you're almost there.
  4. Click "Authorize GitHub" to grant Visual Studio access to Copilot.
  5. The Copilot Chat window opens—now you can type prompts and get coding help instantly.

📌 Why this matters

Opening Copilot Chat in Visual Studio transforms your coding workflow from isolated problem-solving to having an AI pair programmer at your fingertips. You can instantly get code suggestions, debug issues, and explore different approaches without leaving your development environment.

Beyond simple code generation, the chat interface lets you describe complex problems in natural language and receive contextual solutions that understand your specific project. This creates a continuous feedback loop where you can refine ideas, ask follow-up questions, and iterate on solutions in real-time rather than switching between multiple tools and resources.
