Use the Link Zones event, combined with the Link Zones [commands](docId\:az1YTDtEYH-Zp2Dbg_lBL), when you require close, millisecond-level synchronization of content between zones on the same player.

The Link Zones event supports video and image states only; use the Zone Message event to synchronize other states. The Link Zones event provides better synchronization times than the Zone Message event because it pre-loads the next image/video file before displaying it.

Link Zones events cannot be used in the same presentation as Synchronize events; to synchronize zones in a multi-screen presentation, use the Zone Message event.

In the **Specify link keyword** field, enter the message that is sent by the corresponding Link Zones command. 

:::hint{type="info"}
For players running presentations in BrightSign Author version 1.19.3+ and BOS 9.0.101+, [Synchronize Event](docId\:v02mEBLBoCntink_BERQb) is the preferred method of synchronization instead of Link Zones. For players on earlier software, Link Zones is still a valid method.
