A:AnswerYes, you can plug this mic into the USB port of your laptop.
Move the mic far away from the laptop speakers but closer to the mouth and decrease the mic gain. If the issue persists, try to use headphones.
A:AnswerIn my opinion, this would work very well for that purpose. I do think she should be more like 12 inches or so away to be heard clearly by others. Please read my review, the other aspects of this mic may also be helpful for using on zoom.
