Methods, systems, and media for detecting a presentation of media content on a display device

A method for detecting a presentation of media content, the method comprising:

• receiving, using a hardware processor, a light level signal relating to an environment of a display device;
• determining that the light level signal is indicative of a video scene being presented on the display device based on the light level signal and related timing information;
• in response to determining that the light level signal is indicative of the video scene being presented on the display device, identifying, using the hardware processor, a media content corresponding to the video scene being presented on the display device;
• retrieving, using the hardware processor, a content identifier for the media content;
• and
• causing, using the hardware processor, the content identifier to be presented on the display device.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a hardware processor, cause the hardware processor to perform a method for detecting a presentation of media content on a display device, the method comprising:

• receiving a light level signal relating to an environment of a display device;
• determining that the light level signal is indicative of a video scene being presented on the display device based on the light level signal and timing information;
• in response to determining that the light level signal is indicative of the video scene being presented on the display device, identifying a media content corresponding to the video scene being presented on the display device;
• retrieving a content identifier for the media content;
• and
• causing the content identifier to be presented on the display device.
