This page / section pertains to BrightSign Author, our latest app for authoring and managing content and players. For the legacy BrightAuthor Classic app, refer to our [Legacy Docs](docId\:i5zF53DX56wdWDFHlRot1).
:::

You can synchronize playback across zones in one or more players and establish a leader / follower relationship between those zones in BrightSign Author. A synchronization command issued in the transition from any state to a video state will establish synchronization.

The synchronization process is different depending on the version of BrightSignOS and BrightSign Author being used. For the best synchronization experience, it is recommended to upgrade to the latest versions of BrightSignOS and BrightSign Author.

- See [this page](docId:8GMITkWM7-J8MhTo6nSeD) to sync zones on one or more players on BrightSignOS 9.0.101 or above, using BrightSign Author (BrightAuthor\:connected) 1.19.3 or above.
- See [this page](docId\:g-p2wpTMn6y6V2WDrpPwZ) to sync zones across one or more players on BrightSignOS 9.0.75 or below, using BrightAuthor\:connected 1.16.0 or below.
