Step-by-Step: How to Spectate in Fortnite While Sitting Out
1. Set Your Status to ‘Sitting Out’
From the lobby, open the Party Menu by selecting your profile icon.
Under Participation, change your status to Sitting Out.

Once your teammates start their match, stay in the lobby and wait for the option to spectate to become available.

Press the OPTIONS button on your controller (or equivalent on your platform).
A menu showing your party members will appear.
4. Select a Teammate to Watch
