Plotly graphs in Python Jupyter Notebook don't show for other users when live sharing
Type: Bug
- Create a Jupyter Notebook
- Import plotly.io and plotly.express import plotly.io as pio import plotly.express as px
- Create a plot fig = px.scatter(x=[0, 1, 2, 3, 4], y=[0, 1, 4, 9, 16]) fig.show()
- Run the cells
- Start a Live Share session and share with friends
What happens:
Friends see interactive plots when they initially load the Live-shared editor, but when they or the host re-run the cells that plot the plots, the plots disappear. They only show for the user who is hosting the live-share session.

I have the same problem with matplotlib plots with Live Share. Guests can run the code, but only the host will see the plots.
Hi there! I just wanted to suggest a temporary solution for the issue. You could try plotting the figure as an SVG using the fig.show_svg() function. This may not allow for interactive plots, but it could serve as a workaround until a more permanent solution is found. Hope this helps!
