Hey, it means your html doesn’t have <body> or <head> tag.

Can you show me a full screenshot of vscode window?

Please create a file and paste this HTML.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head></head>
  <body>
    Hello World
  </body>
</html>

Now try to open the file using Live Server. It should not give that warning message.
