1. A server comprising:
a communication module comprising communication circuitry configured to establish communication between a first electronic device of a user and a second electronic device of another user and provide, to the first electronic device and the second electronic device, a virtual space and an object in the virtual space;
a memory configured to store computer-executable instructions; and
at least one processor, comprising processor circuitry, configured to execute the instructions by accessing the memory,
wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, individually and/or collectively, configure the server to:
find an object that supports sharing of a content designated by the second electronic device among at least one object in the virtual space;
based on the object that supports sharing of the content being found, share the content to the found object;
select, based on an input of the user, at least one content shared to the object in the virtual space by the another user of the second electronic device entering a same virtual space as the first electronic device,
activate the object to identically output the selected content to at least one electronic device entering the virtual space, and
based on the second electronic device leaving the virtual space, stop providing the content shared by the other user.
