Product placement

VS Code: ACTS - it is the IDE where agent customizations are being demonstrated and configured. Removing it would fundamentally change the video's context and demonstration. aka.ms/VSCode/Learn/Customizations: APPEARS - this is a URL pointing to documentation about VS Code customizations. Removing it would not change the video's content but would remove a resource for viewers. GitHub Copilot: APPEARS - mentioned in the caption as a related technology, but not directly demonstrated or interacted with in the video. Removing it would not change the video's content.
