1. A method for sharing media between a first device and a second device, the method comprising:
receiving, by the first device, credentials corresponding to a user;
communicating from the first device to a server, the credentials;
scanning, with a camera of the first device on which the user's credentials have been received, a quick-response (QR) code;
extracting, by the first device, a uniform resource locator (URL) encoded in the QR code;
associating the URL with the user to claim the URL, such that no other user can be subsequently associated with the URL;
recording, by the first device, media, wherein the media includes at least one of audio through a microphone or video through a camera;
associating, by the first device, information in the URL with the media, such that no other media can be subsequently associated with the URL;
associating the credentials with the information included in the URL and the media; and
communicating, from the first device to a server, the media and the information in the URL;
scanning, with a camera of a second device, the QR code;
extracting, by the second device, the information in the URL encoded in the QR code;
communicating, from the second device to the server, the information in the URL;
receiving, by the second device, in response to communicating the information in the URL to the server, the media from the server; and
playing, by the second device, the media on at least one of a display and a speaker.
