To synchronize videos across players in BrightAuthor:connected, you must ensure that both the video zones and player clocks are synchronized (these principles are the same BrightAuthor).
Synchronizing in BrightAuthor:connected (Zones)
To make videos synchronize inside a BrightSign player, you must create a Link Synchronize message in a video zone and create an event to listen for that link synchronize message. If this is established, the synchronization message can be received by one or more video zones that are listening for that message in the Synchronize Event.
If you want to To synchronize video players that are on the same local network, you need to create two presentations. The leader presentation must have a presentation setting that defines that player as a synchronization leader, and the other presentations need to have the presentation set so they are must be set as followers. Then all presentations will be able to sync accurately based on the clock and video player sync settings.
...
Create the follower presentation (make sure to toggle to Interactive on the top right).
Add a Synchronize event to the content you want to display first, then drag that event to the other content in the presentation.
In Presentation Settings > Interactive > Synchronization, select Enable enhanced synchronization and choose Slave.
Add a synchronize event to listen for the Keyword you selected in step 5, above.
Save and Publish. You can also select Save as and Publish the presentation with a different name for additional players (for example “Player 3 follower presentation”)
And by receiving the Sync message in the video state of Slave (Follower) zone(s).

Notes
XC5 presentations are different: create leader and follower zones in BAcon. Add a sync command that gets triggered by the word start. If you are playing videos on one Raptor player, you don’t have to sync the clocks in Presentation Settings > Interactive > Synchronization. Only needed if sync between multiple XC5 players.
