摘要： Systems and methods are described herein for synchronizing media asset playback on multiple devices. A media guidance application may transmit a media asset for simultaneous display to a first device and a second device. During playback of the media asset, the media guidance application may receive indications of the amount of the media asset consumed by the first and second device. In response to determining that one device has fallen behind in playback, the media guidance application may pause playback on other devices. In response to determining that the devices have become synchronized in playback, the media guidance application may resume playback on all devices.

摘要： Systems and methods are described herein for recommending media assets for a group. A media guidance application may generate recommendations for media assets along with indications of other users that may be interested in consuming the media asset. For example, the media guidance application may identify a media asset that matches a media preference of a first user and identify a second user connected to the first user in a social network, wherein the media asset matches at least one media preference associated with the second user. A media recommendation screen may be generated that includes both an indication of the media asset as well as an indication of the second user.
