Systems and methods for managing sharing of a video in a collaboration session

A method and a system for managing sharing of a video in a collaboration session are disclosed. A sharing function obtains (B122) a synchronization time stamp of an audio frame of the collaboration session, wherein the audio frame is going to be used for synchronizing the shared video stream with the collaboration session. The sharing function determines, based on a video frame rate difference between the desired frame rate and a source frame rate of the video file, whether more, less or same number of video frames as in the video file are needed in the shared video stream. The sharing function iteratively retrieves (B140) video frames from the video file stored in the storage function (140). The sharing function provides (B160), by the sharing function (112), the shared video stream by sending said one or more generated video frames to the video communication service (110). The video communication service provides (B174), the shared video stream to the two client devices participating in the collaboration session.
