How to Test Using Desktop for Video and Dial-in for Audio

[astara25]

How can I set audio to my iPhone/pods while using my desktop computer for video (so using two devices simultaneously), and do so without showing as two participants in the meeting?

I don't see any options to do this under settings or in a mock meeting session. I need to toggle from using a webcam mic on my desktop due to the loud echo and want to find / test a workaround for this.

I've also tried connecting my iPods to my desktop to see if Zoom recognizes them as an audio source but no luck there either!

Thanks!

Thank you!
