We've been trying that, and so have Glasgow University Chapel Choir with 
hilarious results. See

(At the end you discover they are really very good!)

Maybe try one of the low-latency programs like Jamulus?

What would be really good would be to find such an application which could 
follow the conductor  and show a moving Lilypond score...

I don't trust Zoom anyway.  Why has it got more than 20000 open file 
descriptors? What's it doing  with my files??

$ lsof | grep -i zoom | wc -l
