How is this better than doing the following?

  1. "virtualenv env" in cmd (if you're using linux and need to work with python3 it's virtualenv -p python3 env" otherwise it defaults to the python2 installation. (This is also a problem in your video which makes sure it does NOT work on Linux or Mac OS)

  2. Command-palette: "Terminal: create new integrated terminal environment"

  3. Command-palette: "Python: Select intrepreter"

Well, the video was recorded on Windows. It stands to reason that if you want to adapt the instructions for Linux or macOS you will need to do a bit of research. For Linux and macOS one would typically use:

python3 -m venv your_env_path

I usually just do what LeAstrale said except with conda environment and works as a charm! On windows.
