Thanks for the video🙂. That suggestion to create folder helped resolve my issue.

Just wanted to add something I have noticed as it might help complete beginners like me. Even after creating the folder and moving my .html file to it, it's not giving me the option 'open with liveserver' in vs code. Then, I realized that the issue was because I created the folder and named it like you suggested but was opening the file using 'open file' instead of 'open folder' option under vs code 'File' section. When I used 'open folder' in vs code and clicked the .html file under that folder inside vs code, I could then see 'open with liveserver' on right clicking.

For me, the problem was not having a default browser. Usually everytime you open a browser, it will ask you "PLS MAKE US THE DEFAULT BROWSER", but apparently not here.
So definitely check that i guess.

Great video!
However, I still have a problem. When I open live server through the correct html file, it opens fine. But when I click on the file, it downloads instead of becoming the local server. Can you help?
