A fifth person can open the link, watch the table, and take the next open seat without anyone passing a phone around.

Written steps

  1. 1

    Open the link anyway

    When all four seats are taken, the invite still opens. You see the table and can follow the game.

  2. 2

    Get in line

    Tap I got next. When a seat opens, the first person in line is seated automatically.

  3. 3

    Ask for a held seat

    If a bot is holding a seat, you can ask for it. A seated player approves and you are in, in the lobby or mid-game.

Try it at your table

Open a full table's link on a second phone and tap I got next, then have one player sit out.

Quick check

Can someone watch a game without a seat?

Yes. The link opens for a fifth person as a spectator, and I got next puts them first for an open seat.
