+Syncplay synchronises the position and play state of multiple media players so that the viewers can watch the same thing at the same time.
 When one person pauses playback, the media player is paused for all users who are connected to the same server and are in the same 'room' (viewing session).
-When one person seeks, all players seek to the same position. When a new person joins (or someone reconnects) they will be syncronised with their fellow viewers.

 ## What does it not do
 
-Syncplay does not provide video streaming, nor does it syncronise player configuration, selected audio or subtitle track, playback rate, volume or filters. Furthermore, the user must manually choose what file to play as Syncplay does not syncrhonise which file is open. Finally, Syncplay does not provide a voice or text-based chat platform to allow for discussion during playback as Syncplay is intended to be used in conjunction with third-party communication software such as IRC, Mumble or Skype.
