help Codeium VS Code Extension FAQ

Is the Codeium VS Code extension still called Codeium?

Codeium was rebranded under the Windsurf name, so current marketplace and account screens may use Windsurf branding. Older installations, documentation, and settings can still contain the Codeium name.

Does the Codeium extension work inside Visual Studio Code without switching editors?

Yes, the extension provides inline completions and chat within VS Code. Windsurf also offers its own standalone editor, but installing that editor is not required to use the VS Code extension.

How do I know whether Codeium is active in VS Code?

After installation and sign-in, its status indicator appears in the VS Code interface and completions appear as ghost text near the cursor. The extension's output logs and settings can help diagnose a missing or disabled indicator.

Can Codeium conflict with GitHub Copilot suggestions?

Yes, enabling two inline-completion providers can produce competing suggestions or inconsistent Tab behavior. Disabling inline completions for either Codeium or GitHub Copilot is the cleanest way to test which extension is responsible.
