1. A system for implementing a follow-me mode on casting devices, the system comprising:
a proximity-detection device; and
a first casting device that includes a hardware processor, wherein the hardware processor:
receives, from the proximity-detection device, proximity information associated with a user in a smart media display environment including a plurality of casting devices;
in response to determining, from the proximity information, that the user is within a proximity threshold of the first casting device:
retrieves a media content item from a content source that was accessed by a second casting device of the plurality of casting devices in the smart media display environment, wherein the first casting device is different from the second casting device;
determines that an output device connected to the first casting device is currently in an inactive mode in which the output device is inhibited from presenting media content; and
switches the output device from the inactive mode to an active mode in which the media content item continues being presented.
