Honest question. I'm vaguely familiar with streaming software and fairly tech literate.
How does something like this accidentally happen?
Also, OP says he forgot to turn off the camera and masturbated but that doesn't seem to be what the video depicts?
This is his excuse.
The Jews did it?
Come on, that's a little on the nose, isn't it?
Hotkeys?
Pretty much, and some very bad ones at that. Like if he set alt-tab to start streaming.
The only way this could happen is if he has hotkeys setup to switch between video sources, and I guess to restart the stream. I don't think OBS (the most used streaming software) set these hotkeys up by default so we can't really guess what they might be. It is also likely that Nick uses some kind of 3rd party stream control hardware to manage these shortcuts, but if that is the case it would make it even less likely that this happened by accident because when using a device like that you usually set up long shortcuts like ctrl-shift-alt-F9, etc.
SO if Nick has set these shortcuts to be the same as the at least two of the following:
then it's possible that Nick managed to restart the stream, begin playback, and after several seconds switch the video source.
It's pretty damn unlikely. The sound, maybe, that could continue without additional input from the user as it captures all desktop audio by default. But starting the stream again and switching video source? Nah I doubt it.
