Issue Type: Bug

When you search for "inurl:visualstudio.com/join/" on Google, it returns results. Here is a link to the query:

https://www.google.com/search?q=inurl:visualstudio.com/join/&filter=0&biw=1680&bih=976

robots.txt (https://insiders.liveshare.vsengsaas.visualstudio.com/robots.txt) should look like the following to prevent it happening:

User-agent: *
Disallow:
Disallow: /join/

and the page itself should have the following meta tag:

<meta name="robots" content="noindex">

Extension version: 0.3.114
