Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes receiving playback statuses from one or more second client computing devices that are in a synchronous presentation session with a first client computing device. Content presented on the first client computing device and the one or more second client computing devices may be determined to be out of synchronization. A plurality of synchronization options for synchronization of the content may be displayed on the first client computing device. The plurality of synchronization options may be based on the playback statuses associated with the first client computing device and the one or more second client computing devices. A particular synchronization option may be selected from the plurality of synchronization options. The content on the first client computing device may be synchronized with the one or more second client computing devices based on the particular synchronization option.
