Abstract
Methods and systems for synchronizing the presentation of media to a plurality of users. The system presents media to a first user at a start time, and presents the media to one or more secondary users. Based on the current time associated with the secondary user(s) and the start time, the systems and methods may adjust a playback position of the media presented to at least the secondary user(s) so that the media presented to the first user and the media presented to secondary user(s) are synchronized.
Claims18
A system for synchronizing the presentation of media to a plurality of users, the system comprising:
- an interface in communication with at least a first client application accessible by a first user and a second client application accessible by a second user;
- and
- at least one processor executing instructions stored on a memory to:
- present media to the first user at a start time using the first client application,
- receive a current time associated with the second client application, and
- adjust a playback position of the media presented to the second user based on the current time and the start time so that the media presented to the first user and the media presented to the second user is synchronized.
A method for synchronizing the presentation of media to a plurality of users, the method comprising:
- presenting, using at least one processor executing instructions stored on a memory, media to a first user at a start time using a first client application;
- presenting, using the at least one processor, the media to a second user using a second client application;
- receiving, using the at least one processor, a current time associated with the second client application;
- and
- adjusting, using the at least one processor, a playback position of the media presented to the second user based on the current time and the start time so that the media presented to the first user and the media presented to the second user is synchronized.
