I was just reading this article - https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/visual-studio-2019-net-productivity-2/ and noticed in one of the GIF image, she is showing a terminal window inside VS editor itself. It looks like a fully fledged powershell window. How can we get that? Here is a screenshot.

To open the terminal in Visual Studio, select View > Terminal.
It's early days (preview) but there's now a Terminal integrated into Visual Studio! Taking a nod from the 2017 plugin, the Terminal is now build in as an experimental feature using features from the NEW open source Windows Terminal.
As part of the new additions of the Visual Studio 2019 v16. 8 release, and thanks to your feedback, we have added a couple new tricks to the integrated terminal! It now allows you to open a new terminal to a location based on your Solution Explorer selection and provides customizable commands for copy and paste.
How can we get that?
The Terminal Window in the video seems to comes from a VS extension Whack Whack Terminal. You can download and install it in your vs2017.
(Note:For vs2017, it should be higher versions than 15.6+)
For more details(usage and settings) please check Adding a terminal window to Visual Studio 2017 or A proper terminal for Visual Studio
Update:
1.After install the extension, ctrl+\ twice, then the terminal window will show at the bottom of vs window. And we can change the layout by draging the window like below:
2.Hope it's what you want. Also we can Go Tools=>Options=>keyboard to change the shortcut setting of this window:
Update:
VS 2019 16.3+ added the terminal window as a preview feature. Thanks for the info from Farhad and Platinums! Related info see here.
