Methods, systems, and media for transferring playback of media content are provided. In some implementations, the method comprises: receiving a request to initiate a mirroring session in which a tabbed window including a page having a plurality of media content items is rendered on a computing device and transmitted as a video stream to a display device that is in communication with the computing device over a local area network; encoding the video stream including the tabbed window and the plurality of media content items; transmitting the encoded video stream to the display device via the local area network; determining that a user of the tabbed window on the display device intends to view a media content item from the plurality of media content items on the page; inhibiting presentation of the media content item on the computing device; causing the media content item to be decoded and presented on the display device; detecting an event associated with presentation of the media content item on the display device; and, in response to detecting the event associated with presentation of the media content item on the display device, causing the mirroring session to resume.

Methods, systems, and media for managing mirroring sessions of media content

In a general aspect, a system for media playback can include a first media playback device configured to receive a media stream from a media casting device over a data network, the first media playback device being a member of the media playback group and a second media playback device configured to receive the media stream, the second media playback device being a member of the media playback group. The first media playback device and the second media playback device can be collectively configured to designate one of the first media playback device and the second media playback device as a leader playback device of the media playback group. The playback device not designated as the leader playback device can be designated as a follower playback device of the media playback group. The first media playback device and the second media playback device can be further collectively configured to determine a clock offset between the leader playback device and the follower playback device. The leader playback device can be configured to receive a broadcast of the media stream over the data network; play the media stream; and provide the media stream to the follower playback device. The follower playback device can be configured to play the media stream in synchronization with the leader playback device based on the clock offset.

Time-synchronized, multizone media streaming

Systems and techniques are provided for voice calling with a connected device that does not include a SIM card or telephone port. Outgoing audio data may be received at an embedded browser running on a connected device, may be sent using Web Real Time Communications (WebRTC) from the embedded browser to an integration layer running within the embedded browser, and may be sent from the integration layer to a border controller for a voice call carrier over a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) connection according to Secure Real Time Transport Protocol (SRTP). Incoming audio data may be received at the integration layer from the border controller for the voice call carrier over the SIP connection according to SRTP, may be sent using WebRTC from the integration layer to the embedded browser, and may be sent from the embedded browser to an audio output of the connected device which may output audio.
