Playing live music - Guitar - through the Zoom Desktop App

I have tried what seems like a 100 different setups. What I want to be able to do is us my Guitar Audio App (Logic Pro X or Any guitar audio Plugin) and be able to play and have it go out to the others on the Zoom call - any time I try this - it is never captured in the recordings, or heard by thew others on the zoom.

 

I am using a Shure M7 USB-C audio mic - and the guitar is plugged into a Scarlet 212 USB-C audio interface - the same interface where I have my speakers.

 

The MIC and Speakers work FLAWLESS in any Zoom call - try and play anything through the plugin and you NEVER hear the 2nd audio (Guitar)

 

Help! Please and Thank you!!

You are using 2 different sound cards. So you can select the M7 or the 2i2 as the audio source but not both. So if you want to mix the mic and the guitar you need to use a mic plugged into the 2i2. Then your mix is controlled with the physical knobs on the 2i2. If you want to control the mix using focusrite control you will need a 4i4 as a minimum (2i2 has no software controls). I use 4i4s and an 18i8 for various Zoom computers. Keep in mind that Zoom accepts mono or stereo inputs so you may need to make adjustments for the desired output. For using an audio app you will need to use sharing audio only with the M7 or a mic into the 2i2.
