Abstract
Technology is described for directing media content to a target device. A media content directing request may be received from a source device indicating that the source device intends to direct media content to the target device that is available for media content playback. A list of available target devices for media content playback may be provided to the source device. A playback message may be received from the source device that includes a selection of the target device from the list of available target devices. Communication of the playback message to the target device may be facilitated to initiate playback of media content from a media content playback server as directed by the source device.
