Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes connecting two or more user computing devices to provide a synchronous presentation session. Each user computing device may present digital content through an instance of a third-party application associated with a third-party content producer. If one or more of the user computing devices falls out of synchronization with one or more other devices, a synchronization message may be sent to the out of synch device(s), whereby the synchronization message may cause the presentation of digital content across all of the devices to be synchronized.
