Couple claims they found TV channel livestreaming their toilet at their Airbnb

A US couple has claimed they discovered an eerie channel on their TV that showed the bathroom of their Airbnb. 

In the video, Brandon Robert, 24, and his unnamed girlfriend can be heard detailing the terrifying experience. 

While flipping through the channels, the couple said they stumbled upon the livestream before confirming it was their toilet.

'So we are staying at an Airbnb and we are flipping through the channels,' Brandon says while showing footage of the TV screen that displayed a toilet.

'What is that? Is that ours?' the woman replied. 

'It hasn't moved and we are too scared to get up. I'm going to throw up,' the 24-year-old said before adding that his girlfriend was walking to the bathroom to see if she 'showed up' on the screen. 

A few moments later, Brandon can be heard gasping when he sees his girlfriend appear on the screen. 

The couple then shared that they believed the camera was hidden in one of the 'vents,' adding that they would have updates soon as they were going to the 'store to get a ladder.' 

In a follow-up video, Brandon claimed that the couple had moved to a 'new Airbnb' after the 'authorities got involved.' 

Although the couple has yet to give any more updates, Brandon frequently posts prank and joke videos to his TikTok, leading some to speculate if the Airbnb footage was real.

However, it wouldn't be the first time travelers have discovered hidden cameras in an Airbnb.

In the past, Daily Dot reported that Brittany Walsh, from Texas, claimed she found a hidden camera disguised as a charger in her Airbnb bathroom. 

Although she never posted an update, the accommodation marketplace said in a statement to Daily Dot: 'Airbnb strictly prohibits hidden cameras as well as recording devices of any kind in private spaces such as bathrooms and bedrooms. 

'We take this allegation extremely seriously and our dedicated Safety team is thoroughly investigating.' 

On its website, Airbnb notes that cameras are 'allowed' if visitors are 'informed' and the camera doesn't 'infringe' on a guest's privacy. 

'To help provide hosts and guests with peace of mind, security measures like security cameras and noise monitoring devices are allowed, as long as they are clearly disclosed in the listing description and don’t infringe on another person’s privacy,' its website reads. 

It added: 'Devices should never monitor private spaces (ex: bedrooms, bathrooms, or common areas that are being used as sleeping areas, like a living room with a sofa bed). Disconnected devices are allowed as long as they are turned off and proactively disclosed to guests.'

Social media users were shocked by Brandon's video and many noted that they don't use the rental company because they are too afraid of experiencing a similar situation

Airbnb allows cameras for 'viewing or monitoring of only a public space (ex: a front door or a driveway) or a common space that are clearly identified and disclosed ahead of a reservation are permitted. Common spaces do not include sleeping areas or bathrooms.'

Social media users were shocked by Brandon's video and many noted that they don't use the rental company because they are too afraid of experiencing a similar situation, while others urged him to 'call the police.' 

'I would leave and head to a normal hotel. This sort of stuff puts me off using Airbnb,' one TikTok user wrote. 

Another user added: 'That's why I don't do them!'

'This is why I check everything, vents, clocks, holes in walls, mirrors, anything that is conveniently placed to be honest,' someone else said.

One user commented: 'I hope you called the police.' 

'Surprised people still use Airbnb's honestly, I understand they can be great but it's sketchy, I've seen too many horror stories like this,' a fifth person wrote.
