How To Add Friends In Overwatch

Playing with friends is just plain better than playing by yourself. For one, you get a bonus to the experience earned for each game when you play in a group! But how do you add those friends in order to group up with them you ask? Well, here's how.

Step 1)Get their email address, or battletag, or add them from the 'recently played' option in game.
You'll need one of these two things in order to add them on battle.net so that they will appear on your friends list in any Blizzard games, including Overwach. Alternately, you can add them from the recently played menu in game if you have had a match with them recently.

Step 2)Add them on battle.net.
Log in to your battle.net account and before you go into game, click on the little social icon to the right of your username in the top right hand corner, this will bring up your list of existing friends. From here, click on the 'add a friend' button and you can type in the email address or the battletag (including the four numbers at the end). This will add your friend and you will see them in all of the Blizzard games you play.

Step 3)Add someone you recently played with.
Open the social menu by pressing 'O' or clicking on social from the main menu. By default, it will bring up a list of people who are already your friends. Click on the 'recently played' option along the top to show who you have recently played with, and you can then click the plus to the right of their name to add them.
