1. A system, comprising:
memory for storing instructions; and
a processor configured to execute the instructions, and based on the executed instructions, the processor is further configured to:
generate a persistent record of event data and media corresponding to a shared media session and previous shared media sessions until the shared media session is terminated by at least one of a first client device or by abandonment of a distributed communication network by the first client device and by second client devices; and
generate a new disparate live media output stream with multiple distinct channels based on an augmentation of an existing disparate live media output stream in the shared media session,
wherein the persistent record of the event data and media is synchronized with a playback of the existing disparate live media output stream in the shared media session as the new disparate live media output stream with the multiple distinct channels.
