Send and receive Slack Chat inside Visual Studio Code 💬

Slack Chat for VSCode 💬

Setup

1. Install the extension from the VS Marketplace.
2. Post install, run Slack: Sign In from the command palette.
3. You're set!

Why though? 🤔

1. No context switches for quick code reviews
2. Companion chat for VS Live Share
3. Open CI logs and other bot integrations inside your editor
4. Why run two Electron apps when you can do with one?

Commands

Open the Command Palette, and select Slack: Open or Slack: Change Channel to navigate your Slack workspace.

Rich formatting

Supports Slack's markdown flavour for snippet sharing and feedback, without leaving the context of your editor.

VS Live Share

Use slash commands start/stop VS Live Share sessions.

• Use /live share to initiate a session as host, and send the link to the active channel
• Send /live end to end the ongoing session
• Use /live request to request someone else to initiate a session

Bots integration

Code-related bots (CI, version control, etc.) can trigger their actions inside the editor. For example, you can open Travis CI build logs with this configuration. Read more about Providers.

{
  "chat.providers": ["travis"]
}

Using with network proxy

To use this extension behind a proxy, specify the following configuration.

{
  "chat.proxyUrl": "YOUR_PROXY_URL"
}
