System and method for switching video presentations between devices

A device, comprising:

• a processing system including a processor;
• and
• a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
• transmitting a portion of a media content to each of a plurality of second media presentation devices in response to receiving a signal transmitted from a first media presentation device, the signal comprising a request to discontinue providing the media content to the first media presentation device and begin providing the media content to the plurality of second media presentation devices, each of the plurality of second media presentation devices being associated with a respective address or a respective mobile phone number, and the portion of the media content corresponding to a predetermined time period commencing with a frame number of the media content that is associated with a time of a transmission of the signal;
• and
• responsive to a selection, by a particular one of the plurality of second media presentation devices, of a selectable software object subsequent to the transmitting of the portion of the media content, providing the media content to the particular one of the plurality of second media presentation devices,
• a single user input to the particular one of the plurality of second media presentation devices representing the selection of the selectable software object,
• the particular one of the plurality of second media presentation devices presenting the portion of the media content in response to the selection of the selectable software object,
• the predetermined time period being greater than zero;
• and
• the media content provided to the particular one of the plurality of second media presentation devices responsive to the selection of the selectable software object corresponding to a time period commencing with expiration of the predetermined time period.

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:

• transmitting a portion of a media content to each of a plurality of second media presentation devices in response to receiving a signal transmitted from a first media presentation device, the signal comprising a request to discontinue providing the media content to the first media presentation device and begin providing the media content to the plurality of second media presentation devices, the portion of the media content corresponding to a predetermined number of frames with a starting point and an ending point, the starting point corresponding to a frame number of the media content that is associated with a time of a transmission of the signal and the ending point corresponding to a point that is subsequent to the starting point;
• and
• responsive to a selection, by a particular one of the plurality of second media presentation devices, of a selectable software object subsequent to the transmitting of the portion of the media content, providing the media content to the particular one of the plurality of second media presentation devices,
• the particular one of the plurality of second media presentation devices presenting the portion of the media content in response to the selection of the selectable software object, and
• the media content provided to the particular one of the plurality of second media presentation devices responsive to the selection of the selectable software object corresponding to a time period commencing with the ending point of the portion of the media content.
