    Abstract: Methods, systems, and media for processing queries relating to presented media content are provided. In some implementations, a method comprises: receiving a request to associate with a media playback device that is presenting media content to a user of the mobile device, wherein a mobile application executing on the mobile device and a media application executing on the media playback device exchange media playback information; activating a microphone associated with the mobile device to receive ambient sounds in response to associating with the media playback device; converting the received ambient sounds to one or more text inputs; determining whether the text inputs include a trigger term that corresponds to a request to initiate a query relating to the presented media content and the query; in response to determining that the trigger term has been included in the text inputs, determining the media playback information from the media application that includes timing information corresponding to when during the presentation of the media content the query was received and media content identification information; causing a search to be performed that includes the query, the timing information, and the media content identification information; obtaining a search result that is responsive to the query; and presenting at least a portion of the search result to the query on a mobile display associated with the mobile device.

    Abstract: A second screen application operating on a client device presents a deduplicated listing of devices in a user interface, each listed device associated with one or more coupling protocols. A selection of a listed device is received via the user interface with which to participate in a video display session. Application status information is obtained from a control server for a first screen application of the selected device, the application status information indicating whether the first screen application is in an existing video display session with a second client device. A coupling methodology is determined based on the indicated application status and coupling protocols available to the client device and the one or more coupling protocols of the first screen application; and the client device couples to the first screen application via the determined coupling methodology.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and media for authentication are provided. In accordance with some implementations, the system comprises: a hardware processor that is programmed to: receive, from a device, a message relating to an authentication status of a user account associated with the device; transmit an authentication request to the device that is transmitted to an authentication server; receive, from the device, a response to the authentication request that includes authentication data relating to a session corresponding to the user account on the authentication server; cause an interface to be presented that requests authorization to authenticate the device with the authentication server using the user account; and transmit the authentication data to the device that causes the device to retrieve a corresponding authentication token from the authentication server, wherein the corresponding authentication token authenticates the user account on the device.
