Claim 10:
11. A system comprising:
a first device;
a second device; and
control circuitry configured to:
receive a query from a user while a media asset is being played on the first device;
in response to determining that the query is related to the media asset:
cause 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
cause the captured snapshot to be generated for display on the 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, generate 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, generate for output a response to the query based on the reply.
