Are you "allowed" to watch yourself in another browser window?

TLDR: Is it ok to open a new browser window, go to your profile, click the TV and watch your current game being played?

Reason I'm asking:

I have a SquareOff board and they recently added Lichess support. I previously used it with chess.com and, occasionally, the board would lose connection with chess.com and on the board side, it would appear that my opponent's clock was running but in reality, it was actually my clock that was running on the server. I was just playing a game via the new Lichess integration and I was worried that is was happening again. (it turns out my opponent was just a bad sport and bailed on the game). While I was waiting, I went to my iPad, looked at my profile, clicked the TV and saw that my opponent's clock was still in fact running. I immediately closed it out and went back to waiting. After doing that, I thought that might get caught in the auto cheat detection because the TV view automatically displays the current evaluation of the game. Thoughts?

If the square off board is disconnecting just don't use it.

EDIT: I think this is in the wrong forum it should be in this forum https://lichess.org/forum/lichess-feedback.

Weird question, why wouldn't it be?

When did lichess became such a dictatorship that people were afraid of watching their own games?

EDIT : I'm guilty of fast reading, didn't paid attention to the : "cheat detection because the TV view automatically displays the current evaluation of the game", when I go to the TV view page I can't see the evaluation and it's blocked for the exact reasons you mention, isn't it not the case on the iOS app ?

Lichess does not allow engine in any games in progress, that includes TV.
Exception would be special events such as Masters.
