Anxiety during VI

Does anyone have any advice for extreme anxiety during one-way video interviews?

Every year I fly through all the psychometric tests but hit a roadblock on the VI. I'm fine interviewing with an actual person face-to-face or online, I'm fine collaborating in groups or even public speaking and presenting to an audience.

For some reason its the recording myself with a stopwatch going for the video interview that causes an anxiety attack - sweating profusely, stuttering, unable to think or speak properly. Almost like an uncontrollable stage-fright. 

Is there any way around this, or am I doomed?

Thanks
