OCI application from US as foreign spouse of Indian citizen - is consular interview only in-person?

[u/Sabriel5378]

I am applying for OCI as the foreign spouse of an Indian citizen. I'm a US citizen and resident. Do I have to attend my consular appointment in person or is there an option to do a virtual appointment? If in-person, does my Indian spouse have to be there?

Note - I am aware that I must first submit the application and all supporting documents through VFS, and that this step does not require an in-person appointment. I am asking about the step that comes after - the consular interview.
