Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for scheduling a communication session for casting a vote relating to a media asset based on metadata of the media asset. A media guidance application may receive a frame of a media asset including voting information and metadata including communication data related to the voting information. The communication data may include a destination and a communication format. In response to receiving a command from a user input device, the media guidance application may extract the communication data from the metadata, generate a command to engage in communications using the communication data, and transmit the communication data and the command to a communication module. The media guidance application may then receive a trigger to engage in the communications. In response to the trigger, the media guidance application may instruct the communication module to execute the command to cast a vote.
