Surprise! Immediate video interview required in order to apply?! WTF

Omfg these companies. Just spent a good hour or more customizing a cover letter only to find the ATS doesn't ask for one and doesn't offer the “additional attachments” option. So much time wasted. What's worse is that I didn't even get to hit submit on the application because they want a video interview – and I'm not camera ready. Employers should be required to publish the required steps (documents, skills testing, personality assessments … video recordings) so applicants know what's involved – and can decide if they want to jump through the hoops. FML.
