I can see how such a situation could put the presenter in a VERY awkward position. I can only imagine trying to grab the mic back. If you get the wrong person, it could turn out to be a wrestling match, which is an entirely different type of presentation. As always you expertise is very much appreciated here. Best, Frank David,

I think it is better than asking "can everyone hear me" :-) 8. To avoid feedback, don't point the mic at a speaker. Good set of tips, especially #7.
