1. A method, comprising:
- transmitting, by a content management device, multimedia content to a first device;
overlaying, by the content management device, one or more user interaction elements on the multimedia content;
transmitting, by the content management device, the multimedia content overlaid with the one or more user interaction elements to a second device;
responsive to receiving a first user input selecting a first user interaction element of the one or more user interaction elements on the second device for fast forwarding of the multimedia content on the second device;
concurrently with display of the multimedia content on the first device, the second device causing fast forwarding of the display of the multimedia content on the second device starting at a first position that is based on a first current position of the display of the multimedia content on the first device;
wherein the display of the multimedia content on the first device is not changed in response to receiving the first user input on the second device;
subsequent to the second device causing fast forwarding of the display of the multimedia content on the second device and responsive to receiving a second user input selecting a second user interaction element of the one or more user interaction elements;
causing, by the content management device, synchronous display of the multimedia content on the first device and the second device, the synchronous display of the multimedia content on the second device starting at a second position that is based on a second current position of the display of the multimedia content on the first device.

5. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions, which when executed by one or more processors, perform steps comprising:
-
transmitting, by a content management device, multimedia content to a first device; overlaying, by the content management device, one or more user interaction elements on the multimedia content; transmitting, by the content management device, the multimedia content overlaid with the one or more user interaction elements to a second device; responsive to receiving a first user input selecting a first user interaction element of the one or more user interaction elements on the second device for fast forwarding of the multimedia content on the second device; concurrently with display of the multimedia content on the first device, the second device causing fast forwarding of the display of the multimedia content on the second device starting at a first position that is based on a first current position of the display of the multimedia content on the first device; wherein the display of the multimedia content on the first device is not changed in response to receiving the first user input on the second device; subsequent to the second device causing fast forwarding of the display of the multimedia content on the second device and responsive to receiving a second user input selecting a second user interaction element of the one or more user interaction elements; causing, by the content management device, synchronous display of the multimedia content on the first device and the second device, the synchronous display of the multimedia content on the second device starting at a second position that is based on a second current position of the display of the multimedia content on the first device. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 14)

9. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a subsystem, implemented at least partially in hardware at a content management device, that transmits multimedia content to a first device; a subsystem, implemented at least partially in hardware at the content management device, that overlays one or more user interaction elements on the multimedia content; a subsystem, implemented at least partially in hardware at the content management device, that transmits the multimedia content overlaid with the one or more user interaction elements to a second device; a subsystem, at the content management device, implemented at least partially in hardware that, responsive to receiving a first user input selecting a first user interaction element of the one or more user interaction elements on the second device for fast forwarding of the multimedia content on the second device; concurrently with display of the multimedia content on the first device, the second device causing fast forwarding of the display of the multimedia content on the second device starting at a first position that is based on a first current position of the display of the multimedia content on the first device; wherein the display of the multimedia content on the first device is not changed in response to receiving the first user input on the second device; a subsystem, at the content management device, implemented at least partially in hardware that, subsequent to the second device causing fast forwarding of the display of the multimedia content on the second device and responsive to receiving a second user input selecting a second user interaction element of the one or more user interaction elements; causes synchronous display of the multimedia content on the first device and the second device, the synchronous display of the multimedia content on the second device starting at a second position that is based on a second current position of the display of the multimedia content on the first device. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 15)
