I can see how this could be confusing.
To open in VS Code desktop, the invitation link should look like this https://prod.liveshare.vsengsaas.visualstudio.com/join?ABCD1234.
The url shown in your screenshot is what is used to access the session from a web browser.
So, copy the format I mentioned above and replace the id with your new session id to connect. Or, ask the host to re-send the invitiation link which has the same format I mentioned above.
