Another advantage of using a host or moderator is that your online presentation will flow according to your specifications, smoothly and on schedule.
Technical Support Assistance, allowing you to focus on the event

Give access and greet participants as well as thank them for their attendance.
The moderator can also go over some basic “housekeeping” rules, such as what will be included in the session and indicate to participants if they need to turn off their microphones and other common potential technical issues and challenges.

The moderator or host can also act as an intermediary between the speaker and the audience, managing chat, sharing links and other resources.
Taking notes and sorting out questions during the presentation that might otherwise be difficult for the presenter to handle.
We say we don’t have time. We are hesitant. We don’t have the right material.
