Incidents, where streamers have forgotten to turn off their live stream, have taken place often. In most cases, he/she ended up forgetting or failed to notice that his/her camera was on. This has led to some embarrassing yet funny incidents.

However, during one such incident, a streamer ended up on camera through no fault of his own. The event took place more than half a decade ago, in September 2014. However, it is probably the funniest incident of 'accidental streaming'. We revisit this peculiar incident, which happened at around 6:30 am on a Monday.

However, fans were quick to spot Chad's cat, seen fiddling with the streaming equipment. This went on for quite some time, and the streamer himself could be seen sleeping on his bed, peacefully oblivious of everything that is going on.

After around ten minutes, one of Chad's friends, who by then had noticed the live stream, called him. However, the influencer did not pick up, proceeding to look at his laptop to find out why he received a call so early in the morning. One glance and he realized what exactly was going on.
