Technologies for streaming device role reversal

One or more machine-readable storage media comprising a plurality of instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by a source compute device, cause the source compute device to:

• transmit a content stream to a destination compute device for playback on the destination compute device;
• initiate a role reversal between the source compute device and the destination compute device;
• receive, in response to the initiation of the role reversal, another content stream from the destination compute device;
• display the another content stream on an output device of the source compute device;
• and
• exit the role reversal, wherein to exit the role reversal comprises to resume transmission of the content stream to the destination compute device and disable the source compute device from receiving the content stream from the destination compute device.

A method for streaming device role reversal, the method comprising:

• transmitting, by a source compute device, a content stream to a destination compute device for playback on the destination compute device;
• initiating, by the source compute device, a role reversal between the source compute device and the destination compute device;
• receiving, by the source compute device and in response to the initiation of the role reversal, another content stream from the destination compute device;
• displaying, by the source compute device, the another content stream on an output device of the source compute device;
• and
• exiting, by the source compute device, the role reversal, wherein exiting the role reversal comprises resuming transmission of the content stream to the destination compute device and disabling the source compute device from receiving the content stream from the destination compute device.
