I was streaming on Streamate and someone in my room said that he heard my webcam taking photos of me, like he heard the sound of the webcam shutter.. Has anyone had this happen to them before? I'm scared my webcam got hacked ;( It was so odd!

Did YOU hear your webcam shutter? If not, he was probably hearing his own/someone near him....or he was just trolling to freak you out, which is my bet.
If you turn off the encoder, does your webcam's light go off too? A webcam that is not in action won't have the light on. (it's a blue light if you have a c920)
If you have a firewall and antivirus. Just give your pc a quick scan. My webcam doesnt make any noise at all. Pkus if you were on cam then it makes it next to impossible for someone to run software into the cam that is active and take pictures. As the cam is already locked up.
Ignore the trolls. I've had 2 separate guys come into my room and ask me "Who's in the room with you?" "Who's that behind you?" when I moved into a new apartment, trying to scare me. These jerks will try anything to get a reaction!

Webcam shutter lol? That's something new)) Didn't know they had those. Also, if he heard somehing actually coming from your side, you'd hear it even better.
By the way, could be the entrance alarms distorted. Microphone placed too close to the speakers or the computer makes things sound funny.
