How to Install Code With Me Plugin in WebStorm?

If you are using your JetBrains account or an offline activation code to register your IDE, your license will be applied to the Code With Me plugin automatically. This means that you don't need to activate your Code With Me license separately.

When you open an invitation link in your browser, JetBrains Client (a free lightweight application based on IntelliJ platform) is automatically downloaded. This client allows you to join a Code With Me session and collaborate with your colleagues in real-time.

To connect to a Code With Me session as either a host or guest, you don't need WebStorm, but rather a compatible JetBrains IDE installed on your machine. As a host, you need to have the WebStorm license and the WebStorm version 2020.2.1 or later installed with the Code With Me bundled plugin enabled. On the other hand, as a guest, all you need is an invitation link.

Since version 2021.1, Code With Me has been bundled with WebStorm, making it easier to get started with collaborative coding. The Code With Me plugin is compatible with WebStorm 2020.2.1 and later versions.

If the plugin is disabled in your WebStorm IDE, you can easily enable it by going to the Installed tab of the Settings | Plugins page and following the instructions for managing plugins. In WebStorm 2021.1 and later, the Code With Me plugin is activated by default, while in WebStorm 2020.3, you can download it manually.

Code With Me is a powerful plugin that enables real-time collaborative coding with your colleagues. It's compatible with other JetBrains IDEs except for Rider and DataGrip, allowing you to seamlessly work together on projects across different platforms. By following these simple steps, you can get started with Code With Me in WebStorm and start collaborating with your team today!
