[A11Y] Copilot chat error #150
Description
Type of Accessibility Issue
Screen reader - missing, incorrect, or confusing announcements
Describe the Issue
This is not really an accessibility issue, but I didn't know where else to put it. In Step 8 - Install VS Code Extensions, when I try to verify that Copilot chat is working, even though I am signed in, I get an error anytime I try to send a chat message like hello, are you there? The error reads as follows:
