5 streamers who accidentally leaked information they weren’t supposed to

Livestreaming is a tricky business, and streamers can frequently get into trouble for things they did not want to show on stream. Unlike video uploads, which can be edited to cut out unsavory bits or information not meant for the public, livestreaming often has no filter, and nobody can really control how things go on.

This is why creators sometimes use delay and what not to mitigate these issues, but it cannot stop everything, can it? Here are some examples of streamers accidentally showing more than they bargained for, be it personal or proprietary information.

In March, TommyInnit accidentally leaked his passport. The English YouTuber is known for his Minecraft streams with fellow streamers from Dream SP and has become one of the most popular streamers of the game on the platform.

While streaming the sandbox title, Tommy wanted to show a particular image relevant to the conversation. He switched to a Google Photos page on the browser.

What he realized in a short time was that he had just leaked his passport, and he closed the browser in an instant. It was a small glimpse and probably not very harmful, but sharing sensitive information publicly is not a very good idea.
