Overwatch allows your characters to monitor a certain area. If an enemy walks into or performs an action in that space, you will automatically fire. It's useful for holding a doorway and getting a vicious first strike on your enemies.
You can activate overwatch by pushing the butto to the right of your "action selector". It looks like a ball with a semi-circle above it. Make sure to set your facing correctly!
Note that overwatch is activated with your currently selected ability. This means you should generally overwatch with your strongest remaining ability (e.g. burst fire, aimed short).
You can also overwatch with melee weapons.
