watching friend's matches through 'watch matches' screen still not working as expected

[ktiltz]

It is improved, as before I could not view friend matches at all. But it still does not show all friends who are in matches. I am able to see them playing deadlock through steam friend list, but they still dont show up friend ticking the 'friends only' checkbox.

EDIT: if i go through steam friend list -> right click name -> watch game. it just opens the broadcast ui from steam and shows offline. i am also using the latest steam client as of this post

update: wanted to give extra data regarding this issue since originally i thought the issue might have been specific to certain friends not showing up on the watch page. but i was surprised to be able to see the friend's match show up on the watch screen after ticking the 'friends only' checkbox. after we took a break, i tried viewing a different match of that same friend, but it did not show up on the watch page.

Going thru watch game on steam friend list still only opening offline broadcast ui
