My main concern with a USB camera is I expect tons of pointless latency, just due to the driver stack. People with professional cameras use them to film videos to watch later, so don't care about latency at all. I expect it to suck more than an Apple-optimized iPad+Facetime.
I mean, if noise dominates the measurement, then it probably can't hurt too much to use an external camera, but I'd be curious what the average difference is and how much is just random noise.

Wait, it's not impossible that halving the latency is real, the image isn't round tripped through both cams and both displays. The entire pipeline should be: http://A.cam -> A.mac.input -> http://A.to.B.network -> B.mac.output -> B.display ->

why not use separate hardware optimized specifically for videoconferencing? e.g. something like https://www.owllabs.com/meeting-owl but single person (so cheaper)?
