I'd add that it helps to imagine that the audio is a mostly one-way thing. Let the other person speak when they are speaking, and make it clear when you're finished speaking. Doing this can avoid those annoying block-outs that occur when sound from speaker "A" is interrupted for a half second, because listener "B" is making "hm" sounds or inserting affirmative or I-hear-you words like "yup" or "right" after every phrase. Try to develop a habit of waiting for pauses, and providing pauses when you are speaking. Demonstrate that you understand and value communication. Because, if you don't show this during an interview, you're providing evidence that you won't do it in the job. PS. this applies to all interviews. Some reporters are so bad at this that their interviews are unlistenable.
