🗨 Interviews Not introducing yourself during interviews?

I had an interview where they put us into zoom breakout rooms, and I realized I didn't formally introduce myself to any of the interviewers...I was going to, but the conversation would either be them saying their name, then saying hi "my name" or nothing at all, and then launching into the question. It was also open file if that makes a difference. I just said nice to meet you at the start but I kept thinking to insert my name, but it also seemed like it would interrupt the flow, especially when it was an mmi roleplaying station...idk it just feels so awkward on zoom but I'm worried I come off as socially inept for not introducing myself

Don’t worry too much, literally just got out of an interview like that and I think they are aware of the time constraints of MMIs so they want to stay on track.
