Overwatch Queue Monitor

A lightweight Windows app that detects when your Overwatch queue pops and sends a Discord notification to your phone.

Built so I can leave my computer while I'm in queue without missing the start of my match.

For more details on how I built it and why it exists, read the full project write-up on my website

Download

Download the latest Windows release

Download Overwatch.Queue.Monitor.exe from the Assets section and run it.

No Python installation is required.

Windows may show a SmartScreen warning because the executable is not code-signed.

How to Use

1. Open Overwatch in fullscreen.
2. Open Overwatch.Queue.Monitor.exe.
3. Enter your Discord user ID and webhook URL.
4. Start the queue monitor.
5. Queue for a game.
6. Get a Discord notification when your match is found.

The monitor automatically stops after detecting a match.

Discord Setup

You'll need:

• Your Discord user ID
• A Discord webhook URL

To create a webhook:

1. Open the Discord channel you want notifications sent to.
2. Go to Edit Channel → Integrations → Webhooks.
3. Create a webhook.
4. Copy its URL into the app.

To copy your Discord user ID, enable Developer Mode in Discord and right-click your account → Copy User ID.

Keep your webhook URL private. Anyone with the URL can send messages through it.

Notes

• Windows only
• Overwatch must be visible in fullscreen
• Detection may not work correctly on unsupported resolutions or UI layouts
