watch game in progress

imagine you're looking at the pending game postings in the LOBBY and you spot a game you'd like to WATCH and maybe play at some other time. How do you watch a game in lichess that you have interest in please?
If you want to spectate an ongoing game that you see happening in the lobby, you just click on the board and it directs you to the spectator room.
Another way is to open the profile (you can do it also by hovering over one player's nickname in the lobby) of one of the two players and then click on the tv icon that you find on the top right corner. That way you will be able to spectate all the games that player plays, meaning that when one game ends and another starts the system will redirect you to the new one without any action by you.
HI... THANX FOR TAKING THE TIME TO RESPOND. But it doesn't work for us touch screen players. I tried but I can't hover as recommended. Any other suggestions for us touch screen players please?
You can always go on anyone's profile and click the TV button
Yeah lol I mentioned the profile method as well, read again...
