# How to manage multiple back-to-back meetings with MinutesIQ
## Handle board and AGM sequences smoothly without losing track of your minutes.
When multiple meetings take place one after another, for example, a board of directors meeting followed by an annual general meeting, or the reverse, a few simple adjustments allow MinutesIQ to produce clear, distinct minutes for each one.
### Choosing the right call setup
#### Same audience, same call
If the participants are the same across all meetings and your video conferencing platform allows it, **stay in the same call** and invite MinutesIQ once for the entire duration.
This approach is recommended because it avoids a timing issue: if a meeting ends early or runs late, you don't have to manually manage when MinutesIQ should join the next call.
If your sequence includes an in camera session, you can pause MinutesIQ directly from the software rather than removing it from the call. MinutesIQ will stop listening and resume when you reactivate it, without any loss of context.

#### Different audiences, different calls
If the meetings take place in separate calls because the participants are not the same, invite MinutesIQ separately in each call. You will then get independent minutes for each meeting.
### Giving MinutesIQ context for each meeting
Whether you use one call or several, make sure to include context for both meetings in the designated field. Indicate the name and date of each meeting, as well as the participants if they differ from one meeting to the next.

### Clearly marking the transition between meetings
When you are in a single call, **verbally announce the adjournment of each meeting before opening the next one.** For example: "The board of directors meeting is adjourned. We will now open the annual general meeting."
These explicit cues allow MinutesIQ to know precisely where one meeting ends and the next one begins.
