I think guest lecturers have some advatages. I'd suggest talking about interesting research and involving the class in any aspect that might be relevant to them. If the candidate's research is relevant to that class then that would be great. If the expectation is to put a lecture together over what the class is now covering, then again, I would try to see their text and find something that can be personalized to the class and involve them in the material. A lot depends then on whether candidate is given some choices, the type and level of class, etc. Make it interesting and involve the audience. Classes generally are supportive and like the novelty of guest speakers, and enjoy a break from the usual routine. Nothing is more boring than a powerpoint or video that has technical problems tho, so be sure all equipment works. A class of 300 means some audio support, but try to move and not be anchored to one location behind podium or whatever.
