Abstract

Techniques described herein include systems and methods for synchronizing multiple content streams for an event. A reference time point for an event being live-streamed by a plurality of streaming devices may be maintained. A plurality of content streams and manifest files may be received from streaming devices for the event where a manifest file includes a segment template and a timeline for a segment of content included in a content stream. The timeline may identify a capture time for the content generated by an associated streaming device of the streaming devices. The plurality of content streams may be synchronized by modifying the manifest files based on the capture times included in the manifest files and the reference time point. The plurality of content streams and the modified manifest files may be transmitted to a content viewing computer with instructions for synchronizing playback.
