Abstract
An approach for facilitating the playback of content concurrently on multiple devices is described. A time reference associated with a first device is provided to a synchronization platform for corresponding to playback of content on the first device. The synchronization platform also receives a request from a second device to synchronize concurrent playback of a version of the content on the second device. Timing information is generated for transmission to the second device in response to the request for enabling the second device to playback its version of the content in synchronization with that of the first device.
