  • Adaptive synchronization with live media stream
    Patent number: 10805651
    Abstract: In synchronizing a playback of recorded media with a live media stream, a server streams live media to each of a plurality of participant devices at a normal rate. The live media stream is recorded and stored as the recorded media stream. When the server receives, from a given participant device of the plurality of participant devices, a request for playback after a pause at or a rewind to a specified location in the live media stream, the server calculates a playback rate to play the recorded media stream starting at the specified location. The playback rate is calculated such that a playback of the recorded media stream synchronizes with the live media stream at a target location or at a target time. The recorded media stream is then caused to play at the given participant device at the playback rate starting at the specified location.
