    Abstract: A method and system for controlling media-content presentation based on user presence and/or user profile. An example method includes a computing system determining a quantity of users present at a media-presentation device, the quantity being at least one. Further, the example method includes, based on the determining, the computing system using the determined quantity of users present at the media-presentation device as a basis to control what media content a media player outputs for presentation by the media-presentation device. For instance, based on the determined quantity of users the computing system could tailor a graphical user interface (GUI) that the media player outputs for presentation by the media-presentation device, such as by tailoring a set of channel options that a channel-selection GUI provides, among other possibilities.

    Abstract: In one aspect, an example method includes (i) obtaining, by a media player of a media presentation system, an audio signal, where the audio signal includes a voice command and is obtained using a microphone of the media presentation system; (ii) identifying, by the media player, which of multiple speakers of a household uttered the voice command using the audio signal and a speaker-identification model; (iii) performing, by the media player, an action corresponding to the voice command; and (iv) based on the identifying of the speaker using the audio signal and the speaker-identification model, selecting, by the media player, a user profile associated with the identified speaker within a streaming channel so as to bypass a profile selection screen of the streaming channel.
