GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio Code, June 2026 releases

This changelog covers VS Code v1.123 through v1.127, shipped throughout June and early July 2026.

The latest VS Code releases build on the Copilot experience developers use every day, making it easier to manage agent work, understand usage, choose the right models, and stay in the flow. From a smarter integrated browser to parallel sessions, clearer cost visibility, Marketplace model discovery, and sharper Autopilot behavior, these updates help developers move faster while staying in control.

Integrated browser updates

The integrated browser brings more of your web workflow into VS Code, including search, screenshots, remote browsing, and agent-driven validation.

• Agentic browser tools are now generally available: This is enabled by default, allowing agents to navigate pages, inspect content, capture screenshots, and validate web apps directly in VS Code. For more information, see our changelog for the preview release of agentic browser tools.
• Improved browsing experience: The integrated browser now has favorites, history, and web search, as well as permissions for camera, location, microphone, and more.
• New ways to give web page context to the agent: You now have options for adding a screenshot or area screenshot to chat.
• Browse from remote workspaces: When the integrated browser is opened in a remote workspace, HTTP(S) web traffic can now be proxied through the remote connection. This feature is in public preview.

Parallel sessions and chats

The Agents window continues to grow with enhancements for keeping parallel sessions and chats organized and easy to navigate.

• Run sessions side by side: Keep separate agent tasks visible and active at the same time.

• Use multiple chats in one session: Break a larger change into focused workstreams, so you can keep implementation, review, testing, and docs separate while still managing the overall task in one place.

• Agent session organization: Tidy up your Agents window by grouping related sessions or dragging and dropping your sessions to rearrange them.

Cost visibility and improvements

Cost visibility is clearer across whole sessions, delegated work, and additional Copilot spend.

• See total session cost: Understand credit usage across the full chat, not just one request.

• Track additional usage: Review usage from the GitHub Copilot status dashboard.

• Inspect subagent usage: See credit usage for individual subagent sections when work is delegated.

Model providers from the Marketplace

Model provider discovery now starts directly from VS Code, making it easier to add and tune models for different tasks.

• Discover providers from one place: Use the Language Models editor to find model provider extensions.

• Install from Marketplace: Open filtered Marketplace results for extensions that contribute models.

• Customize models faster: Adjust context size and reasoning effort from a unified picker.

Autopilot improvements

Autopilot, the permission level that lets agents act without checking in at every step, is now more hands-off and better at seeing tasks through.

• Better task completion: Agents are smarter about determining when the requested work is actually finished.

• More independent progress: Agents can continue working through steps with less manual steering.

More agent workflow wins

• Session sync and chronicle: Sync chat sessions to your GitHub account and search coding history across machines and workspaces.

• Gutter feedback: Leave comments on an agent’s changes directly from the editor gutter.

• Smarter pull request creation: Create a pull request from a session with the title and description generated from session context.

• 1M context windows: Work with compatible Anthropic and OpenAI models using much larger context windows for bigger codebases and longer conversations.

• Model hover cards: See a quick model descriptor and jump directly to relevant configuration options.

• Official Ollama extension: Move from the built-in Ollama provider to the official VS Code extension for faster model and capability updates.

• Managed Copilot settings: Deliver Copilot configuration through native device management on Windows and macOS.

• File-based managed settings: Apply managed Copilot settings from a JSON file for machines that are not enrolled in device management.

• MCP OAuth credentials: Configure preregistered OAuth client IDs and keep client secrets in VS Code secret storage.

• Extension auto-update delay: A two-hour delay is applied before automatically installing newly published extension versions, giving teams a safety buffer.

• Workspace Trust improvements: Browse new folders safely first, then trust the folder when ready.

Taken together, these updates continue to evolve VS Code for agentic development. Agents can work across longer-running tasks, developers get clearer visibility into costs and models, and teams gain better tools for building and shipping with confidence.
