The Squad Pause feature can only be used by the Party Leader. Once they hit pause (Esc on PC or the Menu Button on controller), everyone will be forced into the Pause Menu.
Similarly, only the Party Leader will be able to unpause the game when it's in Squad Pause mode. Make sure to have a way to communicate with your squad if you plan to fully utilize the Squad Pause feature during your Zombies matches.
Squad Pause only works with a pre-made stack. It will not work if you're queued up with randoms. If you plan to use Squad Pause, make sure you play with a pre-made stack and have Squad Fill turned off before you start your Zombies match.
Unfortunately, Squad Pause does not work if you're playing with randoms. This means that even if you're in a party of 2~3 players, Squad Pause will not work if you used Squad Fill to run a 4-man squad.
The Squad Pause feature has a 15-minute countdown which ensures you won't be able to pause the game for an indefinite amount of time. Make sure you aren't AFK for too long when using Squad Pause to ensure you don't accidentally lose match progress.
