How do I play with friends?

In the release of the Paladins game on Steam, I was able to successfully add a player by name to my list of friends, but I could not find a way to play a match with my friend. I clicked on every button I found in the match setup area, but was not successful. I briefly skimmed the Paladins website forums and FAQ, but did not locate an answer. How can my friend and I join the same match and play together?

Click on social in the lower right, click the friend you want to party with, and click invite to party. From there, I believe you can just click play and then the gametype of your choice as usual.
