in CSGO when you click on a friend whilst they are ingame you can request to watch the match, is this something node-globaloffensive can achieve too?

I'm sure the watching itself won't be possible with this library, but I'm trying to explore if I can "watch" a match with code, or at least get enough information with node-globaloffensive to talk to another tool to do its part.

is this a GC thing, or more like a csgo client thing?

Kind regards, iNilo

I'm more looking for "where to get gotv info" since it feels GC is involved somewhere no?

If there was any way to get a URL for GOTV using node-globaloffensive, I believe you could use it with https://www.npmjs.com/package/demofile DemoFile#parseBroadcast(url). I don't seem to be smart enough to figure this out on my own, though.

Edit: I realize this may not even be enabled for official matchmaking.
