STREAMING DIGITAL CONTENT SYNCHRONIZATION

The present invention provides, in a digital medium environment to stream digital content, a method implemented by a computing device, the method comprising: receiving, by a computing device, a response to a request to stream the digital content, the response including a time at which the digital content was last modified and a time at which the response was generated; calculating, by the computing device, an age by subtracting the time at which the digital content was last modified from the time at which the response was generated, determining, by the computing device, a time by subtracting the age from a predefined set-back time, the time usable to define when rendering of the stream of digital content is to occur: and rendering, by the computing device, the stream of the digital content based at least in part on the determined time.
