I started with the free version of this app. There are too many moving parts to the process. Just to repeat myself, if you are not tech savvy, I don’t recommend this app.
I have another zoom meeting tomorrow so I’m going to make some more adjustments to see if I can clean up the process a bit. For some reason the app timed out on the phone a couple of times which was not good. I downloaded everything to Windows on parallels and used it for a zoom meeting today.
I have parallels on my computer so I’m going to put zoom into Windows and download the windows drivers and see if it works. It would be nice if they would put that in the description of the app. Went to the website and found out that it currently doesn’t work with Mojave and they are currently working on a solution.
Got home and downloaded the OS driver to my MacBook, pull up zoom for a meeting, and nothing. So I bought the paid version to get the better quality.
IT DOES NOT WORK WITH MACS!!! I tried the free version on my work PC with the USB cable and it worked great. I gave the app 5 stars only because it works great with PC. If you are not tech savvy, do not try this app.

If you have weight/size constraints, if you're going to do a lot of walking or shooting transient scenes: bring a monopod.Easily turn your phone into a high definition Mac or PC webcam.
If you don't mind the extra weight and are going to shoot mostly stationary scenes: bring a tripod. And no, you can't replace proper support with image stabilization. It's a compromise between hand-held and stationary shooting - almost the flexibility of hand-held and almost the stability of a tripod. But sometimes the extra portability and speed matters - if you're out photographing wildlife for example, a tripod will be next to useless unless you're in a hide or blind of some kind. If you feel you can lug one around and have the time to set it up for each shot, go tripod. The only reason I can think of why one would consider a monopod is that they are mostly easier to carry around than a "full-fledged" tripod. If you've got shaky hands, a monopod might help, but then again, image stabilisation would be the better option, imho. I'm quite happy with my tripod, which so far I could mount everywhere, so I never really had the need for a monopod - it's either a tripod or none at all for me. A monopod may let you increase shutter time a bit, but quite frankly, I don't know if it'd be worth the investment. In rocky environments, for example, it's not always possible to mount a tripod, especially cheaper ones (you'd need one that gives you much control for this). That really depends on the ground you use to photograph.
