Abstract

Methods, systems, and/or devices for controlling media presentation at a shared media presentation system are described herein. In one aspect, a server system authorizes a first electronic device associated with a first user to control a media presentation system. A request to indicate availability of the media presentation system for use by one or more other electronic devices is received from a first electronic device. An authentication token for the media presentation system is sent to the first electronic device. Furthermore, a media control request including the authentication token is received from a second electronic device that is one of the one or more other electronic devices. In accordance with a determination that the authentication token permits access to the media presentation system, the server system sends a command corresponding to the media control request to the media presentation system.
