O.P. RE: VERY strange...webcam on with pc off
I can't do it today because ofc i have to be at her house with my laptop to show both pcs...maybe tomorrow...
and pls stop telling me how a pc works...i know that for a webcam to work the pc has to be turned on...and just the cpu can't execute instructions by the cam's driver while it is off, not mentioning the other hardware such as the RAM too...so it is not that possible that the webcam works....

BUT I JUST SAW IT HAPPENING...i came here for an explanation for why could it happen not of how a pc works...!!! i just know how it works, and thats why i asked because i know its not possible but it just happened... and if you have no idea of why it happened then don't blame me that I dont know what i am talking about...just dont say anything

thanks

So you are saying you came here to have us explain to you how something you already know is technically impossible happened?

More realistically: Her PC just wasn't off. Maybe she thought it was off but she just turned off the monitor.


BTW: This whole thread seems to be just about how the cam was still sending video. But before the cam can even send video over Messenger you need to be signed in to Messenger, which requires a powered on PC to constantly keep the connection alive. Even an IP-based cam directly plugged into the network wouldn't be able to do that.

You are not. You weren't even in the same room as the PC which was supposedly off. She could easily be messing with you or she simply thought it was off while it wasn't. Both far more reasonable explanations then the one you're suggesting which involves a PC breaking the laws of physics.

A video of what? Like a splitscreen of her being in her room turning her PC off and a screencast of your screen? And that whould prove what? That you can copy/paste 2 videos together? A video won't convince any skeptical person.
Finish the problem

This entire thread makes me sad.
The previous sentence is false. The following sentence is true.
