A first screen device establishes a pairing session between a first screen device and a second screen device. The first screen device presents, in a user interface on the first screen device, a video and one or more media features related to the video. The media features pertain to at least one of a presentation of the video or user feedback about the video. The video is cast from the first screen device onto the second screen device. The first screen device receives, via the user interface, user input indicating a user request to enable presentation of at least one of the media features on the second screen device in connection with the video. In response to the user input, the first screen device causes the at least one of the media features to be presented on the second screen device in connection with the video.

Enabling media features provided on a first screen device to be presented on a second screen device

A method includes providing, via a user interface (UI) of a first application on a first screen device, a UI element prompting a user to connect the first screen device with a second screen device that is presenting a video to the user. The method further includes receiving, via the UI element, an indication of a user request to connect the first screen device with the second screen device. In response to receiving the indication of the user request to connect the first screen device with the second screen device, the method further includes causing the first screen device to be paired with the second screen device. The method further includes providing, for presentation in the UI of the first application of the first screen device, on or more comments provided by one or more other users for the video that is concurrently presented on the second screen device.
