1. A method comprising:
receiving a query from a user while a media asset is being played on a first device;
in response to determining that the query is related to the media asset:
causing capture of a snapshot of the media asset being played on the first device, wherein the snapshot comprises a depiction of a first object and a second object; and
causing the captured snapshot to be generated for display on a second device;

in response to determining that the query is ambiguous as to whether the query is related to the first object or the second object of the snapshot, generating for simultaneous output with the snapshot a disambiguating query based on the first object and the second object of the snapshot; and
in response to receiving a reply to the disambiguating query, generating for output a response to the query based on the reply.
