Prevent display of the live share link #98

Closed csharpfritz closed 6 years ago

csharpfritz commented 6 years ago

When live-streaming on Twitch / Mixer / YouTube, I do not want viewers to be able to see the live share link. It would be helpful if I could set a configuration flag in the Live Share options to prevent the link from being displayed when Live Share is enabled. This way, its copied to my clipboard and no one can see it.

@csharpfritz This is a great suggestion! I could also see there being value in hiding this dialog for users that have become familiar with the sharing behavior (i.e. that it copies the URL to the clipboard), and don't want/need the clutter of the "Here's the link!" dialog anymore.

I agree, especially since displaying the full URL in the info bar isn't very helpful since it can't be selected or highlighted (at least in VS Code) to be copied.

Discord has a similar concept they call Streamer Mode which hides sensitive data on the screen for situations as described above. Perhaps a similar approach could be implemented here?

v0.2.487 was just released and got rid of showing the URI in the toast message completely since it was redundant. It will now notify you and copy to the clipboard but not display the actual invite link.
