Copilot works on Mac VS Code but refuses to work on Windows VS Code

[alexbunardzic]

I'm a happy Copilot user on the Mac, but when I attempt to install Copilot on the Windows VS Code (1.62.2) I get the following error:

GitHub Copilot could not connect to server. Extension activation failed: "User not authorized"

How do I fix that?

I know this might seem like a silly question, but did you authenticate as the same user?

This error indicates that you are either not part of the beta invite list, or there was an error connecting to api.github.com to request a token to use the Copilot service. Can you please past the relevant parts of View -> Output; select GitHub Copilot from the pulldown.

I am facing the same issue.

Please try signing out, copilot will prompt you to sign back in.

How did you get it to work on Mac? I just downloaded Visual Studio for Mac community edition and I cannot install it. I tried downloading the extension as well and its not working. Doesn't even give me any errors when I try to install it.

Visual Studio for Mac is not supported by GitHub Copilot.

You can use Copilot on Mac with VSCode (or IntelliJ).

ahhh I downloaded the wrong one.. I wonder if Xcode will ever have support for this. Thanks fro your help, its working now in VSVODE :)
