Just drag and drop the file into CS:GO. JK, you gotta use the console. Open it and type `playdemo` followed by the demo's name. Simple!

Honestly, I never bother with demos. Way more fun to just play the game.

Playing a demo in CS:GO is like stepping into a time machine! First, you gotta have the demo file (.dem) you want to watch. Then, launch CS:GO and open the console by pressing the `~` key. Type `playdemo [nameofdemo]` (replace `[nameofdemo]` with the actual file name of your demo). Hit enter, and boom! You're watching the demo. You can control playback speed and jump to specific rounds using console commands like `demoui` to bring up the demo playback UI.
