synchronously

At the same time

Synchronously means at the same time or in coordination with something else.

Two events happening synchronously occur together: The video and audio play synchronously.

In computing, synchronous operations complete before the next one begins—the program waits for each task to finish: The data loads synchronously, blocking the interface.

The opposite is asynchronously.
