| Hey doggy8088, I’ve already installed the latest version of VS Code Insiders and the Codex – OpenAI’s Coding Agent extension. However, I still cannot see OpenAI Codex appear in the Chat Session inside VS Code. Could you please let me know if there’s any additional setup, account linking, or configuration required to enable Codex in the chat? Thanks in advance! |

| you won’t see OpenAI Codex in the chat session list unless it’s properly registered as a chat participant inside VS Code’s agent system. just installing the codex extension doesn’t automatically add it there. open the command palette (ctrl+shift+p) then after reload, you should see OpenAI Codex ya Codex Agent appear in the chat panel under local chat sessions.if it still doesn’t, check the Output panel view then output then select Copilot or Codex for any startup errors. in short install the extension, run generate agent instructions, and reload. that usually fixes it. |
