If you’re going to be late to a call, meeting, demo, etc., send an email. I literally put my message in the subject line with nothing in the body eg SUBJECT: running 2 min late (eom)

It takes 5 seconds, but goes a long way. It shows you aren’t intentionally blowing them off and you value their time. You can give details during your meeting, but make sure to immediately give them the warning. And do it BEFORE the meeting starts, not 2 minutes into it.
