What would you do when you think no one is watching? It's the question "What Would You Do?" has been asking since 2008, exploring the answers of people who have been placed within seemingly everyday situations that quickly go wrong. 

The members of the public on this hidden camera show are forced to make tough calls when directly faced with situations of racism, violence, hate crimes, and other hot button cultural issues. 

Season 17 forces bystanders to grapple with a teacher's side hustle on an adult-content site, objections to immigrants applying for work, a deli staffer dealing with a rude customer, and breastfeeding in public. 

Would you intervene or mind your own business? 

Read on for everything you need to know about where to watch "What Would You Do?" season 17 online.
