Abstract

Systems and methods are configured to manage streaming video content across multiple devices. An optical code in a first item of content is detected. The first item of content is streamed to a first device of a user. Other devices of the user proximate to the first user device are detected via signal strengths of respective signals received at the first user device from one or more of the other user devices. In response to detecting a second user device is proximate to the first device and to detecting the optical code in the first item of content, a prompt is displayed on the first device. In response to detecting a user interaction with the prompt, a second item of content is streamed to and displayed on the second device of the user.
