"Oh my god, my monitor": Twitch streamer's monitor breaks after window falls on it midstream
Unlike video content, livestreaming has the added benefit (or disadvantage, depending on the perspective) of catching some truly unanticipated moments. While IRL streaming does increase the chances of random events happening, disasters can also strike while broadcasting from the comfort of one’s home.
As illustrated by HunnyChai, she was in for quite a shock in her Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 stream today. Almost three hours into the broadcast, the window above her monitor fell on it, and looks like it caused extensive damage, as per the the photos she shared.
The streamer was not alone in her disbelief as her followers too couldn't understand how such an event could have happened. It was fellow streamer ThePupperLover's query about the clip that made HunnyChai share the clip on Twitter.
Considering a lot of people potentially have their setups next to a window, one Twitter user rightfully expressed fear of this having to others:
In a subsequent tweet, HunnyChai showcased the 'culprit,' that is, the window responsible for the damage caused to her streaming/gaming setup. She further explained that she had to use duct tape on it because it wasn't staying in place otherwise:
Naturally, HunnyChai had to end the stream because of the damage to her monitor. The incident was evidently very surprising to the streamer too, as she gasped in shock when the window fell on her setup:
"What the f*ck?"
Another person in the room was equally surprised at the occurrence:
"The whole window! Holy sh*t."

HunnyChai promptly checked on the monitor, sensing its damage:
"Oh my god, my monitor bruh... Let's see, I'm so f*cking scared."
After realizing the extent of the crack, the Warzone content creator showed the audience what the monitor looked like:
"Guys, come here... You guys, you're not gonna believe what just happened."
Twitter reactions to the clip

HunnyChai is a relatively small-time Twitch streamer with around 250 followers at the time of writing this piece. Thankfully, she was not hurt in the incident and started streaming on another monitor in couple of hours after ending the eventful stream from earlier.
