Rode Go and MacBook Pro - how to connect?

Hi. I have a MacBook Pro 2019 and I am trying to work out if I can connect an external wireless microphone. I understand I need a TRRS connector to the headphone port which is a splitter? Is this correct, has anyone done this? I have a Rode Go wireless.

I have set this up fine with my iPhone but I want to use my MacBook to run classes via live streaming and want to use my mic or it picks up the echo in the room. My phone is too small for me to able to see 10+ clients in my class hence why I want to use my Macbook.

Help! I am trying to connect my Rode Go Wireless to my Macbook Air. I bought the SC7 cable to connect it and still the computer doesn't see that there is an external mic. What I am I missing?

Do you have this so the grey end goes into the MacBook and the black end into the Rode? That should work.

Do you mean you plug in the SC7 cable as that is the one that has a grey end?

The SC4 does as well -- you can either use the SC4 along with the red curly cable provided with the mic or use the SC7 cable, either is fine. But the grey end has to go into the Mac.
