1. A computer-implemented method, comprising: receiving input audio data corresponding to an utterance; performing speech processing using the input audio data to determine output data responsive to the utterance; determining the input audio data corresponds to a first device configured to operate in a first mode corresponding to coordinated audio output with a second device; based at least in part on the output data, sending data causing at least one of the first device or the second device to operate in a second mode corresponding to discontinuation of coordinated audio output; determining a target device corresponding to presentation of at least a portion of the output data; and sending, to the target device, the portion of the output data for presentation while the target device operates in the second mode.
