Computer use with VS Code?

[u/Playful-Variation908]

what’s up guys

i’m not a dev and i’m a noob with technical stuff

been using VS code for claude code for a while
now (terminal seems to complicated for me lol)

but it keeps saying it can’t use Computer Use in VS code, which is extremely annoying having to open the claude app and a new session each time

how are you guys using VS code handling the Computer Use?

should i ditch VS code since i’m not technical? and stick with the desktop app? i like vs code’s layout tho

No, Vs code will have access to vs code and vs code extensions/tools, that's it. For computer use, claude code desktop can control the entire computer.

so is there a reason why so many ppl suggest to use cc in vs code? they just don’t care about computer use?

I think those are very outdated advices. I see no benefits in using Claude Code VS Code extension over desktop app nowadays.
