+summary: Client/server to synchronize media playback on many computers
+description: |
+  Syncplay synchronises the position and play state of multiple media players
+  so that the viewers can watch the same thing at the same time. This means that
+  when one person pauses/unpauses playback or seeks (jumps position) within their
+  media player then this will be replicated across all media players connected to
+  the same server and in the same 'room' (viewing session). When a new person
+  joins they will also be synchronised. Syncplay also includes text-based chat so
+  you can discuss a video as you watch it (or you could use third-party Voice over 
+  IP software to talk over a video).
