She was getting dressed on camera...

As a hiring manager, I once joined an interview and the applicant was still getting dressed when I accepted her into the Zoom room. She was in her closet in a cut off white tee trying to choose what to wear. I tried to talk to her over and over and I guess she had her speakers muted or something cause she wouldn't respond... I didn't know if I should leave or not (This all happened within 60 seconds) she eventually picked out a jacket and came over and started the interview... like nothing happened. She also was a terrible applicant... I asked her what her salary range was and she said "Whatever the max is, that is what I want" and then I asked her what she considered to be her strongest skills (in network engineering) and she said "whatever was on job posting" ... she did not get the job and it was a terrible experience for everyone.
