A first device includes one or more processors configured to determine, based on one or more wireless signals, a candidate device list identifying one or more devices that are within a communication range of one or more sensing devices. The one or more processors are further configured to, based on a determination to initiate a shared media session with a second device of the candidate device list, receive a media stream including particular media content from a remote media service while the particular media content is being sent from the remote media service to the second device. The one or more processors are further configured to, based on the determination to initiate the shared media session, cause the particular media content to be output, based on synchronization information, contemporaneous with output of the particular media content at the second device.
