You can still get it to work in VSCodium by using the code - not the one from the URL!

Initiate login with VS Code - the Microsoft build

No need to download it - just go to https://insiders.liveshare.vsengsaas.visualstudio.com/auth/login and generate your user code there.

Can you please provide more information about the scenario when you hit the issue? Also can you provide us your logs too? You can access them via the Live Share: Export Logs command from the command palette (ctrl + shift + p) and attach them to this issue.

Issue with https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium.git; probably stripped too much.
Microsoft version of VSCode works.

You can still get it to work in VSCodium by using the code - not the one from the URL!

Initiate login with VS Code - the Microsoft build
In browser, do what you have to do; GitHub Sign-in, etc.
When successfully redirected, VSCode will prompt you to finish the sign-in process - DECLINE!
Back in the browser, click the link - something with "code" and "having trouble"
Instructions will appear with a field that holds the desired code in the format XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX
Copy that code and go back to VSCodium - the custom build - and use "Live Share: Sign In With User Code"
Enter copied code in next field
Done.

From VSCode, Live Share opens this link in the browser:

https://prod.liveshare.vsengsaas.visualstudio.com/auth/identity/github/?redirect=vscode://ms-vsliveshare.vsliveshare/signin%253FwindowId=1&state=…&extensionId=…&nonce=…

But from VSCodium, this link is opened:

https://prod.liveshare.vsengsaas.visualstudio.com/auth/identity/github/?redirect=vscodium://ms-vsliveshare.vsliveshare/signin%253FwindowId=1&state=…&extensionId=…&nonce=…

Notice the different protocol here: vscodium instead of vscode. So looks like Live Share now checks if the redirect URL is “valid” and rejects what it considers to be “invalid”, especially given that authorization used to work under VSCodium and still works if you install an older version of Live Share.
