Spectator access is a controlled join role inside the player flow and stays read-only during live play.

Join with spectator role

(Requires the coach to have the Command tier) Spectator is not a separate app mode — it's a role you choose when joining a specific game:

1
Choose Spectator during join
Discover a game or enter a session code (same as Player flow). In the join sheet, select Spectator instead of Player. Helper text: "Watch-only mode. Requires coach's Command tier."
2
Wait for coach approval
Discover a game or enter a session code (same as Player flow). In the join sheet, select Spectator instead of Player. Helper text: "Watch-only mode. Requires coach's Command tier." The coach approves your join request. You enter the Spectator Live View instead of the player view.
3
Expect Command-tier gating and capacity limits

The spectator view is a read-only game experience: Spectators can control how they receive pitch signals:

1
Read the live feed as a read-only view
On first entry, a brief banner appears: "You're watching as a spectator — You'll see all pitch calls in real-time." (auto-dismisses after 3 seconds). SPECTATOR badge with eye icon.
2
Set delivery preference
A picker lets you choose where pitch signals appear: Default is Both. This preference is saved locally.
3
Use recent calls and inning state as reference
Connection indicator (same as player). Inning display (if preference enabled).

Leave through the live session menu
Use Leave Session from the menu rather than force-closing the app so the session state stays predictable.
2
Rejoin from the same entry points
Discover a game or enter a session code (same as Player flow). In the join sheet, select Spectator instead of Player. Helper text: "Watch-only mode. Requires coach's Command tier." The coach approves your join request.
