# Synchronize Players

Synchronization can be done via the local network (TCP/UDP) on Windows & Linux or via the internet using MQTT over HTTPS for all other platforms.

- Synchronized players will auto discover.
- Players are synchronized per layer.
- Synchronization is leader/follower based.
- Synchronization is by content object.
- The same content is synchronized on all devices in the same sync group.
- Different content on different screens can be synchronized by using a HTML template.
- Synchronized players will share attributes for data exchange.

> [!WARNING]
> Local network synchronization via TCP/UDP is only supported on Windows & Linux.

## Create Sync Zones

1. [Build a location structure](/dise/docs/build-a-location-structure) and create a zone for the sync group.
2. [Create displays](/dise/docs/create-a-display) in the sync group.
3. [Add a channel](/docs/create-a-display?highlight=add%20a%20channel) to the leader display.
4. Select the zone, click the 3 dots and then ‘Edit’:
