 * Franky,
 * We love that you have a shortcode that will automatically put a countdown to 
   the next occurring Event. But we were wondering…if we have multiple Events (with
   different hosts on their own web pages) would using the [eme_countdown] shortcode
   on each of their pages be able to differentiate between the host’s specific meeting?
 * Or would it just countdown to the next scheduled meeting, regardless of which
   host it’s for.
 * ex: We have a “host” having regular Zoom meet-ups on their unique Zoom-embedded
   page on Tuesday at 5pm and Thursday at 9am. We’d like to have the countdown clock
   appear on that Zoom-embed page until the Tuesday meeting starts, and then automatically
   reset for the Thursday meeting
 * But we also have another “host” who will have their own Zoom meeting at 4:45pm
   on the same Tuesday…and we would also like a countdown clock on their unique 
   page.
 * I’m assuming if we put [eme_countdown] on both of the host’s video pages, it 
   will be counting down to Tuesday at 4:45 on BOTH of them? But is there a way 
   to make them count down uniquely AND automatically shift to the next meeting 
   on that host’s list of events?
 * (We understand that we can be use [eme_countdown id=xx] to differentiate the 
   meetings…but then it won’t automatically update to the next meeting, right?)

 * Well, I could add recurrence_id and category_id as optional parameters too, so
   it then either limits to the mentioned event id, the next event in the recurrence,
   the next event in the category or just the next event. In your case your ‘hosts’
   could then use a category for their events.
    Would that help?

 * Oh that might work! And then I guess we could create a “category” for each host.
