Share Copilot Chat conversations in public preview

Share Copilot Chat conversation is in public preview

Sharing a Copilot Chat used to mean screenshots and copy-paste. Now it’s as easy as sending a link. Shared conversations are now available in public preview in immersive chat on github.com.

Sharing Copilot Chats makes it easier to:

  • 🕵 Troubleshoot with teammates—like this chat digging into a React onClick issue.
  • 🧠 Showcase learning workflows with a friend. Here’s an example walking through Python interview prep, step by step.
  • 🤗 Drop useful insights into a pull request review or team chat—like this example that clears up an open team debate.
  • 🎬️ Demo cool Copilot tricks on social—like this one where Copilot asks smart follow-up questions before jumping in.

How sharing works

  • Start a conversation. Once you enter your first prompt, the Share button will appear.
  • Click Share and copy the generated link. Anyone with the link can view the conversation.
  • If the chat includes private repository content or other restricted GitHub data, viewers will need the appropriate permissions to see it.
  • As the conversation continues, recipients will see new messages appear in real time.
  • You can unshare a conversation at any time to revoke access.

Shared conversations are currently in public preview for individual users (not members of organizations or enterprises). We’re actively working on expanding access to all Copilot users soon.

Scheduled Codespaces maintenance on April 21 and 22

Codespaces will be undergoing global maintenance from 16:30 UTC on Monday, April 21 to 16:30 UTC on Tuesday, April 22. Maintenance will begin in our Europe, Asia, and Australia regions. Once it is complete, maintenance will start in our US regions. Each batch of regions will take approximately three to four hours to complete.

During this time period, users may experience intermittent connectivity issues when creating new Codespaces or accessing existing ones.

To avoid disruptions, ensure that any uncommitted changes are committed and pushed before the maintenance starts. Codespaces with uncommitted changes will remain accessible as usual after the maintenance is complete.
