Visual Studio Code (VS Code) supports thousands of extensions that boost productivity and offer language support. However, my favorite extension does something unique – it connects to Discord.
Discord’s presence feature shows a user’s current activity on their profile, often used to display game activity across platforms like Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox. The Discord Presence extension for VS Code adds this feature, allowing users to share their coding activities with friends on Discord.
The extension communicates with the Discord client installed on your computer without requiring login credentials. It also offers additional settings options, including customizing message strings to show more information about your code.
While this extension may not significantly impact productivity or coding experience, it’s a fun way to connect VS Code to Discord, ideal for heavy users. You can download the extension from the Visual Studio Code Marketplace, but be aware of potential security risks when installing third-party extensions.
