It depends on which hybrid.
Honda’s hybrids (Civic Hybrid and Insight) do demand the gasoline engine to be turning to potential the A/C, in view of the fact that their air conditioning compressor is belt-obsessed by the engine.
On the additional hand, hybrids using the Potential Tear Contrivance logic (Ford, Toyota, Nissan and Lexus) ordinarily have an electrically-obsessed air-conditioning unit (not belt-obsessed by the gasoline engine), so their A/C facility just fine when the car is running in gripping mode (gasoline engine off).
My ‘07 Prius is one of these. Its electrically-powered A/C facility normally no matter what mode the car is running in.
