> how they handle the real world challenges of remote work

But an interview is not normal work, if I'm in a meeting with my colleagues and my kids start screaming it's ok to mute myself and tell them off, possibly drop from the call.

During an interview I could do the same but that would also stress me out a lot at a time where I'm already stressed out. I've interviewed people who freaked out because of a bad connection.

Of course, Your Candidates May Vary.

Ask an interviewer, be graceful and supportive when that happens, and affirm to the candidate that it's OK to pause the interview and then calm things down and restart.
