    hi ​@Michael Kriess ,
    Zoom will list any microphone that is seen by such.

    THis is what I have then I choose micropone
     

    If you click on audio settings you can test.
    Your external microphone should be plugged in before starting zoom fro best results.
    If you go into your windows device manager (I assume you are on windows), you can see what audio devices are there
     


    Please like and mark as the solution if this helps

    All the best
