I'm trying to improve the audio quality of my Facebook Live broadcasts. I am using the main (non-selfie) camera on the phone to film myself singing and playing piano; however this puts the phone's mic on the back, facing away from the sound source (the phone is mounted on a tripod). Besides, I have read that an external mic would improve sound quality.  In the course of trying to accomplish this, I have acquired quite a lot of gear and software: a Mackie ProFX8 mixer, a Boya BY-M1 mic (with TRRS jack), Facebook app, and Open Camera app, besides the electric piano, SM58 mic, and powered speaker I already had. However, no matter what I've tried, I can't get the hardware/software to recognize or use anything except the built-in mic on the phone. Anyone who knows how to solve this, your help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey@RonC1,

Please note that you can connect the external bluetooth devices on your phone in bluetooth mode. However we do not have official tested information with the external USB devices, it is not possible to connect it with the phone using USB cable.
