Tom is talking about the current state, not about installing something.

--explanation--

The Present Continuous tense is used to describe actions happening right now. To express that something is not happening, the negative form is used.

In the sentence The live preview isn't showing, isn't is a contraction of is not, making the sentence negative.

This indicates that the live preview is not functioning as expected. So, Tom is reporting that the live preview is currently not visible in Visual Studio Code.
