Makes, sense, however video conference interviews usually take up full day from a candidate, as you have to free up your day (and your mind), stay at home and be ready to answer a rapid succession of questions/perform live coding acts.

At least that what my experience when I was a job candidate.

Who says video/phone interviews need to take up an entire day or have "live coding" (which will be super high stress and don't indicate in any way if someone is a good candidate)?

What would happen on those interview calls then?

Talk with the person, get to know them. Ask about previous projects, get into details about what went wrong and what went right and how they'd change things. Get into technology details.
