  3. Hover over the Copilot icon in the Status Bar and select Set up Copilot.

    Hover over the Copilot icon in the Status Bar and select Set up Copilot.

  4. Select Sign in to sign in to your GitHub account or Use Copilot if you're already signed in.

    If you don't have a Copilot subscription yet, you'll be signed up for the Copilot Free plan.

    Important

    Telemetry in your free version of GitHub Copilot is currently enabled. By default, code suggestions that match public code, including code references in the VS Code and <github.com> experience, are allowed. You can opt out of telemetry data collection by disabling telemetry in VS Code by setting telemetry.telemetryLevel to off, or you can adjust both telemetry and code suggestion settings in Copilot Settings.

  5. You can now start using Copilot in VS Code. Learn the basics with the Copilot Quickstart.
