Watching .dem files in CS:GO is pretty easy! Just move or download the .dem file into your CS:GO directory, usually found under 'Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo'. Then, fire up CS:GO, open the console by pressing ` (the key above Tab), and type 'playdemo [filename]', but replace '[filename]' with the name of your demo file. Remember, no need to add the .dem extension in the command. Enjoy watching your plays or those insane pro moves!

Honestly, who watches .dem files anymore when you have YouTube and Twitch? Just find the highlights online, much simpler.

Just drag and drop the .dem file into the CS:GO folder and type 'playdemo' followed by the file name in console. Easy peasy.
