1. An electronic device comprising:
a first communication circuit configured to transmit content to a first external electronic device through first communication;
a second communication circuit configured to transmit content to a second electronic device connected to a second external electronic device through second communication; and
a processor configured to identify a first time spent for processing a content output operation by the first external electronic device, identify a second time spent for processing a content output operation by the second external electronic device, and control a time for which the content is transmitted to the first external electronic device and/or the second electronic device, based on a result of a comparison between the first time and the second time.
