Remote Collaboration?

[emstruong]

Hello,

Does Positron support Visual Studio Live Share? I'm not seeing it in the extensions list... I do see Open Collaboration, but it doesn't seem to be as 'official' as Visual Studio's own product?

No, it doesn't. Live Share is proprietary Microsoft software/service that is not licensed for use outside of VS Code. You can see its license here:

There's a thread here collecting some requests to make it open source so that it could work outside VS Code with tools like Positron:
