This paper presents Wersync, which is an adaptive and accurate web-based platform that enables distributed media
synchronization and social interaction across remote users. By using Wersync, users can create or join on-going sessions
for concurrently consuming the same media content with other remote users in a synchronized manner. Besides, social
interaction is provided by sharing the navigation control commands and by integrating synchronized text chat
channels. Additionally, two social presence mechanisms have been added to stimulate the participation of external
users in on-going sessions on Wersync. By exclusively relying on standard web-based technologies, this platform
can guarantee cross-network, cross-platform and crossdevice support, which is a key point in the current heterogeneous media delivery ecosystem.
