How can I tell how charged up a Zarya is?
How can I tell how charged up a friendly or enemy Zarya is? Obviously, if I'm the one who is Zarya, I can just look at my charge level, but for other Zaryas I seem to have to go by how much they're glowing or how wide their beam is.
What are the thresholds where the visual effects for this change?

when Zarya is on the enemy team. She is lightly glowing red when at 50 charge. Heavily glowing at 100, also meaning you typically want to get rid of her quickly before she melts your team.

Answer 2
Not only how she's glowing, just think to watch the killcam or ask killed allied to do so, you see the ennemy view, so you can watch how many charge she has (aswell as you can do for the ult). It's not the most usefull way to tell how many charge she has but it's still relevant to tell it to your mates if you are in competitive.
Obviously the glow is more usefull, but every information is relevant when you play seriously.
