Abstract
Methods, systems, and/or devices for sharing control of media presentation systems are described herein. In one aspect, a first electronic device receives, from a second electronic device, an indication of availability of a media presentation system ('MPS') for use by the first electronic device. In accordance with detecting the indication of availability of the MPS, the first electronic device sends a request for access to the MPS. In response to sending the request for access to the MPS, the first electronic device receives, from the second electronic device, an authentication token that allows the first electronic device to access the MPS through submission of media control requests that include the authentication token. The first electronic device also sends, to a server system, a media control request that includes the authentication token and causes the server system to send a command corresponding to the media control request to the MPS.
