It has happened to me. Sometimes you are tired at times the question/solution doesn't click immediately.

At those times I wish the interviewer would leave for a few minutes so I could focus completely and grasp the problem and get started. The observer effect of watching and trying to hold a conversation breaks focus.

I could try this. I can't really leave since the interviews are all done over zoom now, but I could ask the candidate if they'd like a few minutes without my camera or mic on.
