  3. Click the code button, and click codespaces.

  4. Click create codespace, It will open a new tab and automaticly set up your codespace. and then it will open VScode (Web).

  5. Once everything is loaded, click where it says Ports (2)

  6. Hover over where it says 6080, and click the globe icon.

  1. Click connect. The password is vscode (no caps). It will open a new tab with a background that says "right click..."

  2. Right click and click web browser. Within 20 seconds chrome will open. Enjoy!

To re-enter the webpage after it shut itself down, click the antena(2) icon on the bottom right corner of the VScode page.

Best settings: On the left side of the screen, open the sidebar and click the settings icon, click advanced, and check "Auto Reconnect". Set reconnect delay to 1000.

Also set scaling mode to "Remote Resizing".
