Error Handling

• Topic too broad: Help narrow to 3-5 key points for the duration.
• No clear goal: Ask for desired attendee action post-webinar.
• Too much content: Prioritize; suggest follow-up content for extras.
• No visuals available: Provide detailed descriptions for designer.
• First-time presenter: Add more detailed speaker notes and timing cues.
