Abstract
A method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided in order to capture and share audio and/or video content in a multi-user environment. In the context of a method, audio and/or video content is captured and selected to be uploaded to be shared with other users. The method may assign and verify global timestamps for captured content and cause the content and verified timestamps to be uploaded to a multi-user content server. The method uses the verified timestamps to synchronize multi-user content to a common timeline in an efficient manner, allowing for rendering of content that is to be shared with other end users. A corresponding apparatus and a computer program product are also provided.
