All of the sudden, when I join a Zoom with my XLR interface set as the audio input, people only hear me out of their left audio channel. This didn't used to happen, but either with a recent Zoom update, or with macOS Catalina, something changed. Any ideas?

No help here but what‘s your setup?? Thinking about getting a good mic but I start gear-spiraling and give up
I have a Shure Beta 87A microphone and a Tascam US-2x2 XLR interface. Incredible sound quality at a reasonable price.
Interesting! That little 2x2 is sweet. Is the mic mounted on an arm or anything? Curious about sound pick up from smashing my keyboard
Did your mic input somehow fall back to 1ch instead of 2ch? Can you post a screenshot of your interface config in Audio MIDI Setup?
There it is. Looks great dude
Maybe? Here is what I have.
Mine started only outputting on the right channel today. I think it must be zoom because I can't update my OS.
Good to know it wasn't just me! For what its worth, I solved the issue by using a tool called Loopback to create a virtual audio device that mapped both L&R channel to the mic's L input. Its not cheap, but a useful tool - rogueamoeba.com/loopback/
@cleverdevil could your mic input be setup as a stereo input? Does your xlr box have a “pan” or “balance” setting? Also, check audio midi settings (search for “midi” in spotlight) on your Mac. After that, ¯_(ツ)_/¯
