Systems, methods, and media for presenting media content

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• displaying, on a display of a computing device, a video associated with a media content item;
• displaying, on the display of the computing device, a graphical user interface element which, when selected, initiates a process for causing the video to be presented using a media receiving device and a media playback device;
• after detecting that an input for selecting the graphical user interface element has been received by the computing device, displaying, on the display of the computing device, a pause screen and a menu for selecting the media receiving device, wherein the menu is displayed as an overlay of the pause screen;
• in response to detecting that an input for selecting the media receiving device has been received by the computing device:
• (i) causing the media receiving device to present the video using the media playback device;
• and (ii) displaying, on the display of the computing device, a set of controls for controlling the presentation of the video, wherein the set of controls is displayed as an overlay of an application screen displayed on the display of the computing device, and wherein causing the media receiving device to present the video comprises causing the media receiving device to obtain data associated with the video from a server using a wireless connection between the media receiving device and the server and transfer the data from the media receiving device to the media playback device using an HDMI connection.
