Thanks for ur help buddy. U did make me smile,
There is this guy called Dottotech. He gives tips about eeeevvverything! So helpful. And he just had a vlog about zoom! He explains things out really well and easy to understand usually. So, maybe look h*m up? His name is actually Dotto. But as he talks about everything tech... henceforth the title. Good luck. He has a kinda cute sense of with for an older gentleman also.

Hi, how do I find this guy, I tried and coudn't find him?
You have to become a Zoom member first to have a free account. Then you can have access to Zoom's many videos on their website that show you how it works. Many videos can be found on YouTube as well. When you go to the Zoom website you click on Start Meeting, it should also prompt you to copy the link to your meeting to email to someone you want to join your meeting. If this is helpful, I can send images to refer to, which would make it clearer.
You can join zoom and download the app for free, this gets you into zoom meetings. Basic free users also can host meetings, except they cut off after 40 mins. The meeting will restart from the same link for another 40 mins. Paid users - you only need one in a community - have no such limitation when they host.

I know> I tried. The host cannot see or hear me but I can hear and see her. I tried to fix it to no avail. It keep telling me my microphone need to be set up. I don't get it I tried to switch to google app. I don't know if that will work instead, I have no way to know .
Zoom has an audio settings screen for adjusting this. You'll both have to have to find it in your setups though, for me it is the last item on the mute/unmute menu at the lower left of the screen.
