Apply 2 Google Analytics tracking Ids

Question

I need to apply 2 Google Analytics tracking Ids to a website. I already generated the first ID. I was reading, that if I just put one above the other, it won’t work. What to do?

<script>
  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
  })(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');

  ga('create', 'UA-00000000-00', 'auto');
  ga('send', 'pageview');

</script>

According to himself google support you can use normally, only nay should repeat the file instance ga js., this can cause conflicts. You can also name each ID and use it this way:

<script>
(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
(i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
})(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');

ga('create', 'UA-00000000-0', 'auto');
ga('create', 'UA-00000000-1', 'auto', 'xyz');
ga('send', 'pageview');
ga('xyz.send', 'pageview');
</script>

Note that the Xyz is the name assigned to the instance of the second ID, so it uses the function send differently on the second call.
