Hi.

Previously I had a personal copilot subscription that I can fully manage. but after my company provided me a subscription to their copilot I can no longer see my copilot and am no longer able to use them on my projects.

Is there a way to have multiple copilots (personal or provided by organization) and be able to switch them on the go?

per https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/56234:

There can only be one copilot licence active per github account. If your employer takes out a Copilot for Business subscription and assigns you a Copilot seat from their account it will refund your CfI subscription.

I have the same question.
When working on my personal projects, i want to use my personal subscription.
When working for the company I work for, i want to use the "organization subscription" from the company.

Right now, every time I work on my personal projects, I cannot find a way to use the requests from my personal subscription, and i dont feel ok using the "organization subscription" for my personal projects. It consumes the available premium requests, but not from my personal subscription :-|

This is a completely stupid policy from github.

They've recommended for years that people have just one github account for work and personal across all orgs they work with. And now they've built a tool that can't tell the difference between work and personal.

Why can't they just add a dropdown to the copilot chat box to select which license to use. You could have it auto-select based on the repo's organisation too.

A completely avoidable/solvable problem that shouldn't exist.

It’s a big problem; multiple user accounts for one person is not a good solution.

1. Use Two Different Accounts (Most Common)
Use:

• A work/organization account for company Copilot
• A personal Microsoft/GitHub account for your own paid Copilot

Then you switch accounts depending on where you're working.
This is the recommended and officially supported method.

2. Convert Your Personal Subscription to a Different Identity
If your personal subscription was tied to an email that is now org-managed, you can:

• move your personal Copilot subscription to a different email
• remove the organization’s ownership of your personal identity (if allowed)
  This depends on:
• your company policies
• whether your email is now a "managed domain" in Azure AD

If your personal email became managed by the company, Microsoft will not allow two separate entitlements on that identity.

3. Use GitHub Copilot Independently (If Your Issue Is GitHub Copilot)
If you mean GitHub Copilot, then:

• A GitHub account can have only one Copilot subscription active
• But you can log into VS Code with multiple GitHub accounts
• If your employer enrolled your GitHub username into their org, your personal plan gets disabled
  Fix:
• Create a separate personal GitHub account and use VS Code account switcher to toggle.

What You Cannot Do

• You cannot merge subscriptions.
• You cannot simultaneously “select” one Copilot license over another in the same identity.
• Microsoft does not currently support a “Copilot profile switcher.”
