Using Visual Studio Code
GitHub Codespaces and github.dev allow for use of Visual Studio Code in the web browser. When using Visual Studio Code in the web browser, some telemetry collection is enabled by default and is explained in detail on the Visual Studio Code website. Users can opt out of telemetry by going to File > Preferences > Settings under the top left menu.
If a user chooses to opt out of telemetry capture in Visual Studio Code while inside of a codespace as outlined, this will sync the disable telemetry preference across all future web sessions in GitHub Codespaces and github.dev.
