Methods and systems for dynamic creation of hotspots for media control

A method of controlling media presentation, performed at a first electronic device with a processor and memory storing instructions for execution by the processor, the method comprising:

• receiving, from a second electronic device that is distinct from the first electronic device, an indication of availability of a media presentation system for use by the first electronic device;
• in accordance with detecting the indication of availability of the media presentation system, sending a request for access to the media presentation system;
• in response to sending the request for access to the media presentation system, receiving, from the second electronic device, an authentication token that allows the first electronic device to access the media presentation system through submission of media control requests that include the authentication token;
• and
• sending, to a server system, a media control request that includes the authentication token and causes the server system to send a command corresponding to the media control request to the media presentation system.

A first electronic device, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• memory storing one or more programs which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the first electronic device to:
• receive, from a second electronic device that is distinct from the first electronic device, an indication of availability of a media presentation system for use by the first electronic device;
• in accordance with detecting the indication of availability of the media presentation system, send a request for access to the media presentation system;
• in response to sending the request for access to the media presentation system, receive, from the second electronic device, an authentication token that allows the first electronic device to access the media presentation system through submission of media control requests that include the authentication token;
• and
