  • Publication number: 20260252306
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for a dynamic network identification to facilitate a selection of a desired audio. A premises (e.g., a public bar) may have a plurality of display devices (e.g., television screens) outputting videos associated with a plurality of content items (e.g., television programs). A computing device may assign an audio data of each of the content items to be transmitted over a separate wireless network. A user may be able to listen to the audio of a desired content item by causing a user device to join a wireless network assigned to transmit an audio data of the desired content item. The wireless network may be reused to transmit a different audio data. A network identifier of the wireless network may be renamed to indicate the different audio data. The network identifier may be based on metadata associated with a content item.
