Just-released Visual Studio Code 1.107, the latest version of Microsoft’s popular code editor, introduces multi-agent orchestration, a new feature that allows developers to use GitHub Copilot and custom agents together to speed up software development tasks.
Released December 10 and also referred to as the November 2025 release, Visual Studio Code 1.107 can be downloaded for Windows, Mac, and Linux from visualstudio.com.
With multi-agent orchestration, developers can use Agent HQ to manage multiple agents, delegate work across local, background, and cloud agents, and allow GitHub Copilot and custom agents to collaborate across tasks, Microsoft said. Background agents run in isolated workspaces to not interfere with active work and to enable multiple background tasks to run in parallel. An experimental feature allows custom agents to be used as background agents. Once enabled, custom agents defined in the .github/agents folder will appear in the agent list. Additionally, agent sessions have been integrated into the Chat view to give a unified experience when working with agents.
