running and to lead are not synonims of organizing/planning are they?
Further down in the document there is indeed a paragraph titled planning a videoconerence.
What is their meaning?
Running a videoconference
So you've been asked to lead a videoconference in two weeks. The first thing to do is relax. Nobody
expects you to be a professional television interviewer, and none of us were born knowing how to act
on live video. The key is to take a deep breath and follow these helpful steps to a successful
videoconference.
Planning a videoconference
Whether you're planning your first videoconference or consider yourself an old hand, there are some
things you should know to ensure it's successful. Effective face-to-face meetings with colleagues take
planning, such as setting meeting objectives, creating an agenda or preparing and distributing
materials. With videoconferencing, you should consider all of these things and more.

planning is part of the overall operation
to run a videoconference, first one must plan it
then, the day of the conference, one must lead it

appear synonymous in this case
although perhaps 'run' denotes more the technical end, and 'lead' the duties to be assumed as discussion leader?

being in the driving seat
moderating, being the 'chairperson', being the person in control.
If you think of a board meeting / conference - you always need a chairperson, moderator to introduce the points, keep the discussion relevant, let people speak in turn, when they indicate they have something to say.
If it is you that is calling the conference, you will probably need to prepare the agenda (items to be discussed), and let the conference attendees know in advance what the items are, so they can prepare what they are going to say.
This is what I understand by leading/running a video conference.

being in charge of/manage
To run means to be in charge of/manage. This involves the necessary preparations (planning) but also involves leading the conference itself.
Planning the videoconference refers to all the preparations involved to make sure that the conference will go smoothly.
