Abstract: Techniques are provided for sending a stream of lighting information for a synchronized scene from a cloud-based system to a set of synchronized client applications. Sending the stream includes detecting a series of changes in configuration of lighting for the synchronized scene, and after detecting each change in the series of changes (a) generating, at the cloud-based system, new lighting information that reflects the change; and (b) streaming the new lighting information to the set of synchronized client applications. Each client application in the set of synchronized client applications repeatedly renders updated depictions of the synchronized scene to reflect lighting configuration changes indicated in the stream of lighting information.
