1 year ago +1 on this. I am paying for a CoPilot subscription currently, and I signed up for it expressly to try to out the Chat feature. Hidden at the end of the plug-in description is a small field "Accepted to GitHub Copilot chat private beta (join the waitlist)."
- This was not mentioned up front at the time of purchasing CoPilot.
- I have been waiting for weeks for access.
- CoPilot is really not all that useful. It frequently makes incorrect suggestions, distracts you while you code, and doesn't help you achieve larger goals or write code for multiple parts of a file at once.
- In short, Copilot Chat is the only thing that is going to be useful for me.
- Copilot Chat needs to drop their "beta signup" requirement and just open this up as an opt-in feature to all CoPilot subscribers.
It also needs to be much clear (at the top of the main CoPilot subscription) that it currently doesn't include Chat. I will likely be closing my CoPilot account as there is no reason to pay a monthly fee for the functionality it currently has.
Please inform the CoPilot PM that this is not being handled well.

Hi I hope you are doing well. I am a devoted user of GitHub Copilot and am excited about the new "GitHub Copilot Chat" feature recently released. However, I am still on the waitlist for access to this feature. I am writing this email to kindly request an opportunity to participate in the beta testing for GitHub Copilot Chat.
Having used GitHub Copilot extensively, I firmly believe that the addition of real-time collaboration in Copilot Chat will significantly enhance the development workflow and foster increased productivity for developers like me. I am eager to provide valuable feedback during the beta phase to contribute to the refinement of this feature. I would be extremely grateful if you could grant me access to GitHub Copilot Chat, allowing me to join the beta testing and be a part of shaping this exciting addition to the GitHub ecosystem.
