How do I spectate a game I am in? - Brown Wooden Blocks on White Surface

I know that players can spectate other players matches if they are friends with them. What I want to know is, how I can spectate a game while in that game itself.

For instance, sometimes I see someone with a very cool hero skin that I want to see what it looks like in combat, so I'd like to spectate them. Or I'd like to spectate a player who looks like they know what they're doing and has good skills so I can learn from them.

How can I spectate a match in a game I am currently in?



Best Answer

Currently there is no official way to spectate a game, but it is being implemented soon. According to Jeff Kaplan here.

Although if you die while in game, I believe you can switch between watching the kill cam and other players on your team, which would be the closest thing to spectating, although you'd only have it for 6 seconds.
