Unable to get Github Copilot to work with Azure Data explorer in Azure Data studio. Can you please help

The first thing I would check is whether this is actually a supported host for the GitHub Copilot extension you are trying to use.

Azure Data Studio is VS Code-based, but not every VS Code extension works there exactly the same way. If Copilot does not activate in Azure Data Studio, try these checks:

1. Confirm the GitHub Copilot extension is installed and enabled in Azure Data Studio.
2. Sign out and back in to GitHub from the Accounts menu.
3. Check the Output panel for GitHub Copilot or authentication errors.
4. Test the same account in VS Code with the Kusto/Azure Data Explorer extension.
5. If VS Code works but Azure Data Studio does not, it is likely an extension host compatibility issue rather than an Azure Data Explorer issue.

If you can share the exact error from the Output panel, it will be easier to tell whether this is auth, proxy/network, unsupported host, or extension activation.
