Abstract: Methods, systems, and media for providing dynamic media sessions with video stream transfer features are provided. In some embodiments, the methods include: receiving an indication that presentation of the video content item is to be transferred from the first display device to a different display device; in response to receiving the indication, determining whether the first display device supports transferring the presentation of the video content item and determining whether the different display device is capable of presenting the video content item; and transmitting an indication that presentation of the video content item is to be transferred from the first display device to the different display device, wherein the video content item is played back using the different display device from a playback position that is based on the playback state from the first display device.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and media for providing dynamic media sessions with audio stream expansion features are provided. In some embodiments, the methods include: receiving an indication that audio content associated with a video content item is to be presented by a follower device synchronously with the audio content presented by the leader device; identifying candidate follower devices by determining whether devices connected to a local area network are capable of being designated as a follower device; causing a user interface to be presented that indicates each candidate follower device; receiving, via the user interface, a selection of one of the candidate follower devices; and transmitting, from the leader to the selected follower device, control instructions that cause the audio content associated with the video content item to be presented synchronously by the selected follower device with the video content item presented by the leader device.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and media for providing dynamic media sessions are provided. In some embodiments, the method comprises: transmitting, from a leader device to follower devices that each belong to a group of media playback devices in a group media playback session, control instructions that cause a media content item to be synchronously presented with the leader device and the follower devices in the group of media playback devices; during the synchronous presentation of the media content item, receiving an indication to halt presentation of the media content item by the leader device; in response to receiving the indication and in response to determining that the leader device is to remain the leader device of the group of media playback devices, halting the presentation of the media content item on the leader device while continuing to transmit updated control instructions that cause the media content item in the group media playback session to continue being synchronously presented on the follower devices remaining in the group of media playback devices.
