For those experiencing issues, here was my fix:
1. Use URDF VSCode extension to get URDF snippets (by smilerobotics)
2. Select pre release version of ROS extension (by Microsoft)

Thanks for the amazing tutorial!!

Although I can't visualize it on preview at first due to the missing of base_footprint, but great video. Thanks a lot!

You have mentioned transform, in almost each of your videos, can you make videos on transform broadcast and stamped? Moreover your videos are quite interesting, wish you can upload them every day. 😅
