Microphone with Droidcam

I installed Droidcam today on my arch desktop as well as android phone. The video works with Zoom, but it kind of does not detect microphone. The connection is using WiFi. I want the mic of the Bluetooth headphones connected to my phone to be used as a mic ideally. But the phone mic is also okay if somehow I could make it work. How do I make that mic work?

Why twice?
Anyhow, the first part is incorrect. Everybody that has sound on their Linux install uses ALSA.
2nd part: Open terminal, enter 'alsamixer', choose to display only "Capture" or "All" channels.
However, I don't think this will help at all.
What tonitch meant was probably 'amixer'.
