Streamer Mode is an option within the Overwatch settings that allows users to hide their (or other players') name, queue time, survey QR codes, as well as randomly increase their queue time to avoid being recognized or "queue-sniped".
Starting Season 13, the "Hide my Name" option is now only available to players who have completed the "Tenacious Hero" lifetime challenge, requiring 750 wins in any game mode.
