Run Azure DevOps extension in the background - azure-devops

Is it possible to run Azure DevOps Web extension when you open any azure devops page?
Probably, there is exists something like "type": "ms.vss-web.azure-load-action" that starts when you open Azure DevOps Website.
In common way, extension contribution runs in a certain scenarios, like - opening hub, opening context menu, etc. Can you run an extension contribution in global context - after azure devops website was opened?
PS. I'he already searched in the VSTS samples, extension points and azure devops extension samples
Thank you, have a nice day!

Unfortunately, extensions don't support "load action". We use extensions to enhance Azure DevOps and Team Foundation Server (TFS) with new web experiences, dashboard widgets, build tasks, and more. You may submit a user voice at website below:

I want to add a custom tab in the Azure DevOps build results page, next to the Summary tab.
Exactly the same questions were asked by different users in 2019. But the sample repo shared is outdated and never updated for more than 5 years.

Deploy to Azure Extension - Only Allows Creation of Github Actions Workflow. Wont Allow GitHub + Azure Pipelines Flow Creation

I am following the steps outlined here. I am using the Deploy to Azure Extension
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/targets/deploy-to-azure-vscode?view=azure-devops#github--azure-pipelines
I have done the following steps.
I have managed to create a simple react app and then got the GitHub + GitHub Actions portion to work no problem.
Now, I want to get GitHub Plus Azure Pipeline to work. So, I deleted the GitHub Actions/Workflow files, and starting over with the CICD setup.
Next, I have enabled Use Azure Pipelines for GitHub in the extension.
Then, as per the steps/pictures outlined in the above microsoft documentation link, I have begun the configure CICD option from the command palette.
Selected the Visual Studio Subscription
Selected the target web app
Now, at this point, as per the linked tutorial, it is supposed to ask me to choose a azure devops organization, so that the azure pipeline YAML file can kick in. This step never happens.
instead, VS Code will proceed to generate a GitHub Actions Workflow just as it did before.
What should I do to the GitHub to Azure Pipeline working from this extension?
Update 1
In case anyone is curious, I have raised a issue on the visual studio community forum. You can find that here
https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/1182952/github-azure-pipelines-falls-back-to-github-github.html
As of now, there is an ongoing discussion but no solution yet.
You can try reinstalling Deploy to Azure Extension and enable Use Azure Pipelines for GitHub, and then configure CI/CD option again. If the issue persists, you can report this issue here.
You can create a pipeline directly in your azure devops project. Check out below tutorial
Build, test, and deploy JavaScript and Node.js apps
You will also need to create an Azure Resource Manager service connection to deploy to your azure resource from azure devops pipeline.

How to enable TaskO in Azure DevOps

I installed the TaskO extension for my Azure DevOps organization. However, when I open one of my projects that uses the Scrum or Agile process I do not see where to create the automated tasks. Does anyone know how to create tasks with this extension?
Following TaskO UI is shown for each project. You can add tasks to the project, edit and delete them. These work as templates for actual tasks which are created by Azure DevOps whenever you add requirement/user story/PBI. You can also see the button to add the tasks for existing requirements. This TaskO UI is not required to be used after you have defined the tasks for that project. Creation of the actual tasks works in the background.
How to enable TaskO in Azure DevOps
I am afraid this TaskO extension is not very compatible with Azure Devops. I have installed this extension successfully for a long time, but I still could not make it work for my Azure Devops.
After install that extension for my Azure DevOps account, I could not see any add tasks UI display on my Azure DevOps. And on the page Q & A, there is also some feedback that they are not able to use this extension properly.
Besides, I have found a similar extension TaskO 2015, which is only work for TFS 2015. I am not very sure if this extension is work with Azure Deops. If this extension is work with Azure Devops, #Gouri S may need to provide us detailed instructions, which could help us to use this extension.
Hope this helps.
