The lag with IP Webcam can vary dramatically depending on how you use it. With your measured lag, I think you used the same way as I did in my first test, but IMHO not the ideal one.
I use(d) it with both my phones (Older Huawei P30 Pro and now Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra) in the same network with my home computer running OBS Studio and from there, output it as "virtual webcam" to be used in Zoom, WebEx, etc.
I measure latencies of 100ms, at maximum 200ms (From phone to OBS) with FullHD resolution, far away from 1s-3s you mentioned. The way to do so: You must use "Browser-Source" in OBS Studio pointing to the "Browser renderer" fullscreen setting of IP Webcam. URL is like so: http://192.168.179.48:8080/browserfs.html
The *wrong* path which you probably used: Adding IPWebcam in OBS Studio as (VLC) video source, so with RTSP, ONVIF or whatsoever. All those modes had significant latency in my tests as well, so I'm very happy to have found the way via the browser.

You should have used Droidcam OBS if you're going to put XSplit software in the comparison.
Droidcam OBS requires you to be running OBS in the background (Like the XSplit software does) but has more features than regular Droidcam.

Great article GSMArena! 👏
Recently I was thinking whether you can use the mobile camera as a webcam or not, and then you posted this. What a timing ♋️

Many thanks mate, The comparisons have helped me a lot of time digging through the internet to find what will work best for my interview. I feared I had to buy a webcam but I don't think so anymore.
Again, thanks a ton!

It would have been good if you'd shared the prices of the paid versions. I can't find the price for XSplit anywhere! How much does it cost?

Or just turn your old digi cam or DSLR into a webcam by using new pc software from the major manufacturer brands.

Great article. I didn't even know you could do this.
Can the table be updated to say which apps work with which conference softwares please. I installed the Iriun app on both my phone and macbook and realisd that it does not work with Microsoft Teams.
Thanks
