I can't think of any attorney that you might want to work for that would hold it against you. We've been doing these Zoom meetings for months from home, and everyone still has constant IT problems.
Just apologize briefly and move on.

That stinks. But it happens. Don't sweat it too much.
It happens. Don’t get flustered about it and don’t over-apologize. Especially DON’T OVER-APOLOGIZE! If you handle it calmly and professionally, you’ll actually get a few points in your favor.
If they’re the type of firm that’s going to hold that against you, then you don’t want to work there.

I’m on the recruiting team at my firm, and we’ve done a lot of OCI interviews remotely. I’d say 50% have tech issues, and I’ve never ever held it against anyone. It happens and is not anybody’s fault. I completely agree with a quick apology and then moving on.
Good luck and if this firm is worth working for, they won’t care!
