Please add an option to remove that stupid copilot advertisement in the title bar. #232635

Closed floooh closed 1 week ago

With the latest update (1.95.0) there's a copilot icon in the status bar which is essentially an advertisement.

For people who don't use copilot (or generally AI) in their workflow that icon doesn't have any purpose, sits in plain sight all the time and is generally annoying.

Please add a way to remove it.

Ok for anybody else looking for that option:

Turns out the icon can be removed, just not via the regular VSCode Settings:

Right click and then turn off Chat Controls:

This should really be much more obvious.
