GitHub Copilot everywhere: building code across Slack, Teams, mobile, and VS Code
Meagan demonstrates how GitHub Copilot can be used across Slack, Microsoft Teams, GitHub.com, the GitHub mobile app, and VS Code to keep coding work moving in the same conversation where teams collaborate.
Overview
The video shows a workflow where Copilot is available across multiple “surfaces” beyond the editor, focusing on collaborating with teammates directly in chat tools.
Key themes covered:
- Using Copilot in Slack to collaborate in code-focused channels
- How Copilot continuity carries across GitHub.com, mobile, and VS Code
- Reviewing changes via code diffs and opening a pull request from Slack
- Carrying enterprise code review context across surfaces
- Using Copilot in Microsoft Teams meetings
- Tracking progress and spend from the mobile experience
