I ran a meeting today and it didn't go as well as I had hoped. My video was delayed from what I was saying, was just overall more nervous than I had hoped to be which than caused me to rush (which didn't help at all with the video delay).

I know logically I should just take this as a learning situation and do better next time. But I can't stop thinking about it. I know I'm going to go to bed tonight and think about all the things I could've done better and not get any sleep.

How do people "change the channel" in their heads?

This is very familiar, I don't know about changing the channel but I have learned to try and remember that other people also mess up at work. Your presentation was probably good enough for the people in the room, and they are unlikely to remember it as clearly or insistently as your mind does.

On the flip side people like us who constantly relive what is basically a minor issue, are actually more likely to deliver better results than the idiots blasting through life with the conviction they are the most talent person and god's gift to the company ;)
