A character has an ability that they cannot show off to or use in front of others because of nerves. When under pressure, the character can't perform as well, making others doubt that character's ability.
Usually, once under pressure, the character is unable to perform at all, looking like a complete idiot as they stand there unable to do what others are asking them to do. Other times, it has a more mild effect, causing them to simply make stupid mistakes that they wouldn't any other time. Sometimes, they just act apprehensive rather than making mistakes.
The trope name is a more technical term for Stage Fright (see Real Life examples below). The specific phobia of public performing may appear on its own, or may be part of a broader case of social anxiety.
A common trait of the Shrinking Violet. If all we ever see is the character cracking under pressure, then it starts to edge into Informed Ability territory. Compare Centipede's Dilemma (aka Paralysis by Analysis), in which a character loses an ability by thinking too hard about it. Related to Dead Air, an occasional occurrence on radio. If the character is shown to actually be good at whatever it is they're attempting to do in public when they're in private (or doing it for friends/family), it usually goes hand in hand with Hidden Depths. See Imagine the Audience Naked and "No Peeking!" Request as possible ways of handling it.

The Invisible Boy in Mystery Men has the power to become invisible — but only when nobody is looking. For most of the film the team question whether he actually has powers at all or is just pretending he does- until the climax where he manages to turn invisible in order to walk past an automated camera-triggered Death Ray to reach the switch that disables it, because cameras aren't people.

The Boys (2019): Whenever someone shows a genuine lack of fear of him, Homelander can’t bring himself to pummel them, laser them or kill them any of the other many ways he does someone he can intimidate. He can’t even threaten them. Even when he managed to remove Stan Edgar from his position of power, Edgar was still able to belittle him and walk away without a scratch, leaving him to stew in his impotence. In season 3 he could only talk to Butcher, who lost what little fear he had in the last season. He only killed Stilwell after she admitted she was terrified of him. When Maeve finally stands up, telling him she always hated and even pitied him, he can't bring himself to attack her and needs Black Noir to do it for him. He not only relishes fear, he’s completely dependent on it like a person is to oxygen.

When Eddie Kendricks quit The Temptations in April of 1971, the group initially recruited Ricky Owens, a member of fellow R&B group the Vibrations. Despite being an accomplished vocalist, the pressure of replacing the Temps' most popular members (especially after he'd sang lead on their latest hit "Just My Imagination") got to him and he flubbed most of the lyrics to his leads. After two disastrous performances, he was unceremoniously booted out, and replaced with Damon Harris, who would remain with the group until 1975.

Anpanman himself from Anpanman. Despite being a powerful superhero, he is horrible at onstage acting. He stutters, speaks his lines in a very forced tone, and blushes like mad. This leads to problems when he's roped into performing (normally by Shiratama-san or the Den Den Troupe). However, as soon as Baikinman attacks the stage, he forgets all of his fear and goes back to being the one thing he truly is: a superhero.

Discworld:
In Moving Pictures, clickie superstar Ginger is terrified to step out of the coach in front of a cheering crowd, having only acted in front of a camera crew rather than an audience. Victor snaps her out of it by suggesting that she pretend it's a click, and it works: she can handle the attention if she stays in character.
Similarly, in Wyrd Sisters, Death gets a case of stage fright and starts fumbling over the lines "he" is supposed to play when he turns up for real on the stage towards the climax at the book. It's explained this is because the circumstances mean everyone is expecting to see him, and thus they can, and it's very unusual indeed for him to be seen by such a large crowd of living people.

This time, her recital is well-received and she thanks the Chemist for it, but they tell her that it was just warm water (regardless of the ingredients you put in), and that she just needed to be more self-confident in her talent.

Chloe Cerise in Infinity Train: Blossoming Trail has a hidden knack for writing horror short stories, as shown by how Atticus and Lexi praise her writings. But when Lexi asks her to read a story for some Sorbet Sharks, she immediately declines since it reminds her of how her classmates mock and jeer for her interests, let alone not even a giving a damn when she presents it. It takes a pep talk from Lexi and Atticus to get her to take the stage.
In Infinity Train: Seeker of Crocus, Chloe is able to perform with a smile on her face although she still has insecurities while at a conference with the Alola gang (due to her insecurities and bullying issues about "not being like others" and also the gang had been ganging up on Augustine about his problems even though Chloe was gone longer than he was and has even more traumas to work out). Meanwhile, Augustine does not like performing on stage and even has to ask his Persona, Asher, to hypnotise him to make him appear cool and confident.

One episode of Carole & Tuesday concerns a metal musician named Joshua who apparently suffers from this to such an extent that he can't perform unless drunk. Carole and Tuesday are drafted in for the Cydonia Festival as reserves, in case Joshua can't bring himself to perform, but their attempt to cover from him is roundly booed by the crowd and Joshua ultimately finds the courage to go out and perform.
Subverted when DJ Ertegun delivers his first major concert after a serious Break the Haughty moment. He cowers beneath the spotlight, whimpering that his fans have forgotten him, and Carole and Tuesday think he's relapsed... but it's just a ploy to goad the audience into calling his name, and he rises to his feet in a matter of seconds to tremendous cheers.

Family Ties: The first season episode, aptly titled "Stage Fright," had a High School Bowl-type program in its plot, where the highly intelligent Alex, captain of his school's quiz bowl team, is forced to turn to his dunce of a sister Mallory when a teammate falls ill. Alex is well prepared for the show and victory for his school is assured just by his mere presence...only for him to unexpectedly come down with stage fright. Alex is unable to answer one question or spit out a coherent statement, while Mallory (the underachiever) is relaxed, despite only answering a few of the questions right.

Muv-Luv: Miki Tamase has this issue in both continuities: in Extra, she's a fantastic archer, but completely falls apart if anyone's watching her. Her whole personal story arc is about her trying to get over this. In Unlimited and Alternative, it's downplayed: she used to have similar anxiety issues, but has trained herself out of it for the most part. It still pops up in one story arc where she has to shoot down orbital debris heading for the base: the pressure causes her to run and hide, and she needs encouragement to step up and do her part.

The Idolmaker: Before Guido's first show as Caesare, he gets so nervous that he sings terribly, causing the audience to laugh at him. About a minute into the first song, he runs offstage and into the parking lot for a Stress Vomit.

The Owl House: Despite being the head of the Bard Coven, Raine Whispers suffers from such crippling stage fright that they end up flubbing their lines and running off the stage in a panic during their inauguration ceremony. They do slightly better as leader of the BATTS, but they still get flustered at some of their cornier lines, and are only confident enough to speak when their face is covered by a mask.

Todd in Dead Poets Society is actually quite a good poet, but has a bit of a problem with reading/speaking in front of people, which leads to him taking notes at Dead Poets meetings rather than doing any of the actual reading. At first, his aversion to public speaking is so strong that he refuses to join the society at all.

Miko Iino from Kaguya-sama: Love Is War suffers from crippling stage fright, which is cited as the reason why she's never managed to win a student council election. Shirogane starting an impromptu debate and pretending to insult her values allows her to her focus on him instead of the crowd and lets her give her speech properly. She still doesn't win the election (getting just under 50% of the vote compared to the 5% that she'd normally get), but she did earn the respect of her fellow students, basically assuring that she'd win the following year (and sure enough, the next election is a landslide in her favor).

Inverted in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine by Worf's son Alexander. He's only good under pressure. When he enlists in the Klingon military, he's constantly screwing up and becomes a figure of mockery among his shipmates; but when they are attacked by Jem'Hadar, he runs alone into an incredibly dangerous damaged portion of the ship and successfully performs emergency repairs to save the ship. Then he accidentally locks himself into the corridor and has to be freed after the battle is over. The rest of the crew actually starts to like his clumsiness, as they believe that by screwing up in small, harmless ways when they're perfectly safe he's using up all their bad luck before battle.

Similarly, in Wyrd Sisters, Death gets a case of stage fright and starts fumbling over the lines "he" is supposed to play when he turns up for real on the stage towards the climax at the book. It's explained this is because the circumstances mean everyone is expecting to see him, and thus they can, and it's very unusual indeed for him to be seen by such a large crowd of living people.

Fat Charlie, the protagonist of Anansi Boys suffers from a seriously bad case of Performance Anxiety that leaves him basically incapable of singing in front of other people. It's a shame, really, since he's actually a phenomenal singer with a real love for music ( and he has an unknown affinity with reality-warping Magic Music due to being the son of Anansi) , but whenever he gets in front of a crowd, he just freezes from sheer nerves and runs the risk of just puking all over himself. Conquering his fears of embarrassing himself and preforming in front of others is an important part of his Character Development. By the end of the story, Charlie realizes that he loves preforming and music and becomes a singer. His old stage-fright never truly went away, he just knows he can always overcome it once he starts singing.

Odd Squad:
In "Orchid's Almost Half-Hour Talent Show", Olympia becomes so concerned with finding acts for Orchid's Talent Show so she can get a spot that when she does manage to get a spot, she realizes that she never thought about what she was planning to do. As a result, she becomes anxious and can only utter a single quiet "meep" when onstage. Luckily, Otis, who is backstage, bails her out with an on-the-spot duet that manages to save herself from any further embarrassment.
In "The Deposit Slip-Up", when Symmetric Al enters the vault and talks to Pete, the vault owner (being portrayed by Delivery Doug), Pete freezes up and becomes unable to speak, nearly ruining the entire operation. Otis attempts to help him out, but things quickly take a turn for the worse when the key that the agents suspect is the correct key to the safe where Oprah's jetpack is kept isn't the right key.
In "O for a Day", Osmerelda describes to Oswald how she used to be afraid to play her flute in front of her flute instructor, but got past it by working up the nerve to play it in front of a hundred people so she could play it in front of one person.

The Brady Bunch:
"You Can't Win Them All," from the fourth season, was about Cindy earning a spot on a Quiz Bowl-type show for elementary students ("Quiz the Kids," with Chris Knight's father, Edward, playing the quizmaster). Cindy's huge ego (the central focus of the episode) underlied the fact that she studied hard for the program...only for it to come crashing down when the cameras started rolling and the live TV broadcast began. Cindy fails to so much as mutter a syllable the entire time - all she can do is stare blankly at the camera throughout the show - and Mike reassures his disconsolate, humiliated youngest daughter afterward, "It can happen to anyone."
"The Driver's Seat," one of the last episodes from Season 5, where Marcia, Jan and Greg each experience this: Marcia, when trying to pass her driver's test to get her license (despite Greg's heckling about Women Drivers); Jan, when she tries out for the debate club; and Greg, when he tries to beat Marcia in a winner-take-all driver's obstacle course competition.

He reluctantly agrees to do the rehearsal, but he whispers so quietly that the crowd couldn’t hear him from the mic. He tries to use that as an excuse to drop out of the official speech, but Yamada encourages him and helps him practice. Overhearing Nanjou dropping by near them and seriously confessing that he likes Yamada is what convinces and motivates Ichikawa to do the speech.

Haikyuu!!:
The main character Hinata has performance anxiety to the point that he regularly gets stomach issues before playing in a volleyball match. This is taken up to eleven in episode 4 and 5 where he gets so nervous, he pretty much stops functioning before and during the practice match against Seijoh. It takes hitting the back of Kageyama's head with a flubbed serve for him to finally calm down because the scariest thing that could've happened has already happened. He's able to play normally after that but still gets nervous at other important matches. As he gains experience and confidence, even that stops.
Yamaguchi is insecure about his skills as a pinch server and afraid of messing up and disappointing his teammates. Knowing that, Shimada teaches him to focus on a "reset point" (like an emergency exit sign) to calm his nerves during a match. When the exit sign is blocked from view during a match at nationals, Shimada swoops in to hold up a grocery bag from the sidelines, something that they used as a reset point before.
Almost the entire Karasuno team suffers from this at the Inter-High final against Shiratorizawa until Sugawara screams at them from the sidelines to calm down, though he's just as nervous as them.
In the manga, Sugawara asks Hinata and Yachi to prepare a sport club introduction for new members but just practicing the speech has them burn out so bad from stage fright, they end up short-circuiting and crashing into a ball basket. Asahi remarks that those two are the last people he should've asked for that.

The Partridge Family:
Before the band's first public performance, Shirley is so nervous she has trouble moving her mouth and is afraid she'll faint on stage. She does fine; it's the kids who end up freezing up, and she has to tell them to close their eyes and pretend they're still in their garage.
In "The Red Woodloe Story," the titular folk singer agrees to perform with the family, but on the first night, he gets scared and leaves before he's supposed to appear. The next night he tries to do the same thing, but Tracy stops him and helps him overcome his stage fright.

In one Horatio Hornblower story, Hornblower goes down in flames when he takes his examination for lieutenant before a board of three captains. They pose him a hypothetical shipboard disaster and he blanks out as they point out all the horrible things that would be happening in the real situation—and then the Spanish send a fire ship into the harbor. Hornblower helps steer it away from the fleet with one of the examiners, who makes a point of telling him afterward what a mercy it was because he was about to fail. (Hornblower's heroism does net him the promotion.)

Slug Days Stories: In Penguin Days, Lauren and her cousins Sophia and Zoe are going to be flower girls at Auntie Joss and Uncle Charlie's wedding. The day before the wedding, the girls participate in a rehearsal in front of rows of empty chairs. But on the day of the actual wedding, Lauren finds that the chairs are full of people she doesn't know. She freezes up, afraid she'll walk or scatter flowers wrong and everyone will laugh at her. Her cousins gather around to offer encouragement. Kevin tells her to picture the audience in their underwear. Lauren doesn't want to picture that, so Kevin tells her to imagine they're penguins instead. That helps her calm down enough to start walking down the aisle.

Get a Grip, Vivy Cohen!: Vivy has mastered her knuckleball playing with her brother Nate, but she does really badly the first time she practices with the Flying Squirrels, then keeps messing up during her first real game. Major League pitcher VJ Capello has a similar problem - his performance has been underwhelming since he botched a throw in last year's World Series.

In The Menu, whether Tyler has any cooking ability under any circumstance is unclear, but his efforts are certainly hampered by being forced to cook while everyone stares at him with hostility and his culinary idol makes contemptuously commentary on his efforts. He burns himself, forgets to wash his vegetables or melt the butter, and declares obviously undercooked lamb done.

SpongeBob SquarePants:
This was the original reason why SpongeBob kept failing to get his boating license. The first couple episodes it was shown, it was stress that made SpongeBob freak out and crash into everything. Then it became a case of Depending on the Writer, where his driving skills would vary according to how the scene could best be formatted, and when he drove well, there'd be a decent justification for his confidence boost. Then Flanderization and Seasonal Rot hit, and the reason was completely forgotten, and that SpongeBob would just inexplicably turn into a crazy, senseless Person of Mass Destruction behind a wheel, no matter the situation. Another episode has SpongeBob suddenly develop a fear of public speaking when he has to give an oral report in boating school.
SpongeBob has this in the episode "ChefBob" when Mr. Krabs creates an open kitchen. SpongeBob gets past this by inventing a new persona, a puppet named ChefBob, that becomes a hit from insulting the Krusty Krab customers and staff.

In Infinity Train: Seeker of Crocus, Chloe is able to perform with a smile on her face although she still has insecurities while at a conference with the Alola gang (due to her insecurities and bullying issues about "not being like others" and also the gang had been ganging up on Augustine about his problems even though Chloe was gone longer than he was and has even more traumas to work out). Meanwhile, Augustine does not like performing on stage and even has to ask his Persona, Asher, to hypnotise him to make him appear cool and confident.

Yuri!!! on Ice:
This is Yuri Katsuki's Fatal Flaw. He's genuinely a really good skater — the top male skater in Japan, even — but he suffers terribly from stage fright and consequently tends to do much worse than usual at competitions. One of the main arcs of the anime is about teaching him to have confidence in himself as a skater, but Episode 7 proves that even Victor's encouragement or his recent successes can't cure anxiety completely.
Jean-Jacques Leroy suffers from a one-off attack of performance anxiety in Episode 11. It ends up ruining his short program and his chance at victory in the Grand Prix Final.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
Fluttershy is very nervous about performing in the Hearth's Warming Eve play in Canterlot. Does not get better when Rarity tells her there might be thousands of ponies watching.
In "Hurricane Fluttershy," Fluttershy has to help out in whipping up a tornado with the other pegasi but is overcome by a fear of her own perceived inadequate flight capabilities. This has a cause; as a filly, she was bullied for being a weak flier. This also only occurs when she's being observed by other ponies; she goes off to train with her animal friends and is fine when they are watching, but as soon as they don pony masks, Fluttershy falters. By the end of the episode, however, Fluttershy manages to overcome her inferiority complex, and in Season 4 proves capable of flight performance in a very public setting twice.
In "Filli Vanilli", Fluttershy is afraid of singing publicly, and as a result, hides behind a curtain while another pony lip-syncs to her voice. To her credit, she had a deep bass singing voice at the time. When she accidentally knocks the curtain down and outs herself as the real singer, she has a nervous breakdown. For this specific problem, she ultimately is able to try again but decides to work through it slowly.
Happens with Rainbow Dash in "Sonic Rainboom" after she crashed during every practice session and was being upstaged by Rarity.
Sweetie Belle has an instance of this in "The Show Stoppers." Like Fluttershy, she has a good voice but is shy about singing in front of others, prompting her to do props and costumes for their show instead of singing, which goes to the Hollywood Tone-Deaf Scootaloo. She appears to have gotten past it as of "For Whom the Sweetie Bell Toils," when she writes, directs, and acts in a play, but she has yet to publicly sing.
In "Equestria Games", when it's time to light the torch in front of the entire stadium, Spike's unable to trigger his fire breath.

Asterix:
In Asterix and the Cauldron, one of Asterix and Obelix' attempts to raise the money they need is to try their luck at performing in a theater. Unfortunately, Obelix is hit by a massive case of stage fright; his face turns pale, he starts sweating, and can only stare at the audience with open mouth. When he finally does manage to say something, it's his catchphrase "These Romans are crazy", angering the Roman audience.
This is brought up again in Asterix and the White Iris, when Asterix and Obelix have to fight off a group of Roman soldiers inside the Lutetian amphitheater. Obelix gets the shakes and Asterix has encourage him.

The second Horatio Hornblower telefilm is appropriately titled "The Examination for Lieutenant" in the UK and "The Fire Ships" in America. Despite spending all his free time inside of a book (even when commanding a quarantined supply ship) Hornblower, as in the original story, can barely give his name correctly. It's compounded by the fact that he'd previously an angry exchange with one captain on the board who insisted on taking provisions before the quarantine was up. All interrupted by the fire ship, of course. After congratulating him for his act of heroism, Captain Pellew then brings up what the One Sane Man of the examiners said about Hornblower's performance and jokes that it was lucky the fire ship appeared when it did. Hornblower ends that particular episode still as an acting-lieutenant, but the official promotion comes down in the next.

In the Homestar Runner short "A Decemberween Pageant", Strong Sad gets the part of The First Decemberween in the titular pageant. He gets so nervous that he locks himself in the bathroom before his scene, and the rest of the cast are forced to improvise to extend the play. When Strong Sad finally does come on-stage, it turns out that The First Decemberween's entire part consists of walking on-stage and saying "What?" (or alternately, that Strong Sad's part was supposed to be larger, and no one in the audience noticed or cared that he messed it up).

Ally from Austin & Ally has a bad case of this whenever she gets on stage. How bad is it? She accidentally destroys an entire TV studio while trying to get away when Austin gets her on a live TV show. It is revealed near the end of the first season she has it because she got nervous during an audition to an elite music school and hallucinated the piano trying to eat her, thus she lost her only chance. She finally gets over her stage fright partially into Season 2 when she sings a duet with Austin at her mother's book presentation.

At least one champion from The $100,000 Name That Tune recounted his experiences from the $100,000 tournament in Jefferson Graham's "The Game Show Book"; in an elimination round, he knew the titles to three songs ("Yesterday," "America" (from West Side Story) and "Tie a Yellow Ribbon 'Round the Old Oak Tree") but was either unable to answer before being buzzed or press his lock-out buzzer fast enough, and he owed his lack of success to extreme nerves (particularly since he knew a large prize was up for grabs). At least one other book - pitching advice to prospective game show contestants - included its author's own disastrous experience on the Jim Perry version of Card Sharks; she wrote that, despite being relaxed beforehand, she became completely unnerved when told she was going on air to play the game, and those nerves - plus a lack of support from others in the contestant pool, whom she had thought were her friends - contributed to a pair of quick losses to a dominant champion.

Till Lindemann of Rammstein has such an extreme case of anxiety on stage, he rather set said stage and himself on fire in order to keep people distracted from staring at him, this is how and why Rammstein's popular style of performances was created.
