How to change GOTV delay in CS2

Type tv_delay 90 in the server console so GOTV spectators see the match 90 seconds late; 0 removes the delay.

tv_delay

Sets the GOTV broadcast delay in seconds.

tv_delay <seconds>

Examples

tv_delay 90

A long delay for competitive matches.

tv_delay 0

No delay, for demo recording only.

Arguments

secondsRequired
Broadcast delay.

What it does

Spectators see the match this many seconds late, which stops players from getting live information through GOTV. Lower it for casual servers or when you only use GOTV to record demos.

Run it on your server

On a SLASHPLAY server, type it in the Console tab of the server page; the reply shows right under it. A value set there lasts until the server restarts. To keep it, add the line to game/csgo/cfg/server.cfg. New to this? Start a CS2 server first.
