Looking at various L4d2 slot managers and bot managers, it does not appear that anything provides the ability to join an L4D2 CoOp server as a spectator and spectate all players. I am looking for something just like when you die in CoOp, after a brief pause, you can spectate all alive players, human and bot, with mouse left-click to toggle between the different players.

As a server admin, I would like this ability to monitor game play on the server, without joining as a player... just spectator only.

Does anything like this exist? Any help is appreciated!

I don't know, can this done by cvars. But also, can this done with relay SourceTV? Not SourceTV in game.

Thank you Bacardi. I previously tried to setup SourceTV with L4D2 but could not get it to work. When I search online, I mostly just see people setting it up for TF2. I could not find any examples for L4D2. The setup might not be any different though and I may give it another try this weekend. If you have any tips for SourceTV / L4D2 setup, that would be great!

[L4D2] Source TV

Uuuf, SourceTV is really broken in L4D2

But here maybe "support"
https://github.com/shqke/sourcetvsupport

*edit
I have not tested

@Natan Thank you, but that is not compatible with L4D2.

@Bacardi OMG! Thank you very much for the link to shqke's github. That actually worked! It is exactly what I was looking for. Not only can I spectate any player in CoOp (first-person or third-person), I can also spectate infected bots. It works perfect. Thanks again!
