How to record and watch the demo in Counter-Strike Global Offensive

To record a demo in CS:GO, you need to open the console with the ~ key during the game, it is near the Esc key.
If the console does not open, then it probably is disabled in the settings, open the game settings and select “Yes” where “Enable Developer Console (~)”.

Then, in the console window that opens, type the command (where NAME is any name of the demo):

record NAME

To stop demo recording in the console, type:

stop

The demo file will be saved to the directory with CS:GO, for example C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo\NAME.dem, other demos should be placed in the same directory.

To view demos, you need to open the player, for this, in the console, type:
