1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
receiving, at a first device, a voice command;
determining that a second device is playing content;
determining that metadata of the content indicates that excessive volume is occurring in the playing of the content at the second device; and
in response to determining that the metadata of the content indicates that the excessive volume is occurring in the playing of the content at the second device:
generating for output an indication to repeat the voice command at a later time during which the metadata indicates that the excessive volume is not occurring in the playing of the content at the second device.
