I highly recommend that you record the meeting, as it suggests.  That may
save some grief later.

 >  >    
 >  >    - If you want to record the session, enable recording permissions in Zoom

 >  > 5. Plan for Q&A or Interaction
 >  >    
 >  >    - Decide when and how you want people to ask questions—during the

 >  >    - You can use Zoom's chat for questions or have attendees raise their

 >  > 
 >  > 6. Have a Backup Plan
 >  >    
 >  >    - If your friend has technical issues, you should have a copy of the 
 >  >    slides so you can screen-share in case they can’t.
 >  >    - Keep Zoom’s dial-in number handy in case someone has trouble joining
