What do you do when the plan fails?

So, I was presenting a personal finance webinar to some lovely Chinese people on the other side of the world, when the laptop suddenly got stuck. The slides refused to move… We had performed our sound and checks etc before the session. I had to switch my Zoom connection between phone and laptop a few times to keep things moving. And cracking a few jokes helped too. What would you have done in that situation?
