Back-to-Back Mtgs

If I have two back-to-back mtgs scheduled in the same account, would attendees - if joining early - for the second mtg join the first one, or no? (Each mtg has its own link.)

Hi @AC98 ,

 

The simple answer is no. Your one account can only have one meeting running at any time.

There are fudges
by creating Alt-hosts and sharing diaries, but that requires another paid account, so where is the benefit in this case
You can schedule meetings to start before you join, which converts to a complimentary 40-minute meeting. You should then join and take control. 
Hope that helps

John,

what are the "fudges"? See my post same section 8/18/25 re multiple meeting same host for a 12-step group.

Thank you

@ChicagoJohn ,

You can not run two meetings at the same time, so any fudging would be unwise.
The licence bots could flag you, and let's be clear, almost nobody recovers a licence when it is cancelled.
I would not take the risk.
