“sound”string“auto”“auto”, “on”, “off”Plays a sound when a chat request is made.
“announcement”string“auto”“auto”, “off”Announces when a chat request is made.

Description: Controls if audio signals and announcements are played when a Chat request is sent in the Copilot Chat feature. If sound is set to auto, an audio signal will play when a screen reader is detected or when editor.accessibilitySupport is on. If sound is set to on, an audio signal will always play even when no screen reader is detected and even when editor.accessibilitySupport is off. If sound is set to off, an audio signal will never play when a Chat request is sent.

When announcement is set to auto, the screen reader will read something like “Chat request sent.” when a Chat request is sent to Copilot. When announcement is set to off, the screen reader will never make an annoucement when a Chat request is sent. Note that there is no on option which makes sense since this would attempt to announce “Chat request sent.” even when there is no screen reader detected.
