Microsoft announced the private preview launch of Visual Studio Online, an online code editor positioned as a companion to Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code.

The service is based on the Visual Studio Code, Microsoft's popular free and open-source desktop code editor. This means Visual Studio Online will also support all the extensions that are currently available for Visual Studio Code, as well as popular features like Visual Studio Code workspaces. Support for IntelliCode, Microsoft's tool for AI-assisted development, is also built-in.

Visual Studio Online is not meant to become a developer's default environment but instead is a way to make a quick edit, review a pull request, or join a Live Share session.
