1. A method comprising:
receiving, at a first computing device, a content item;
initiating, between the first computing device and each of a plurality of computing devices, a sidelink channel;
transmitting, from the first computing device to each of the plurality of computing devices via the sidelink channel, a first portion of the content item;
generating, at a second computing device of the plurality of computing devices, feedback, wherein the feedback is generated based on a condition of the sidelink channel;
transmitting, from the second computing device of the plurality of computing devices to the first computing device, the feedback;
identifying, based on the feedback, an action to perform; and
performing the action, wherein performing the action comprises:
determining a central area based on a determined location of each of the plurality of computing devices;
determining that a relative location of the first computing device is outside of the central area; and
based on, at least in part, determining that the relative location of the first computing device is outside of the central area, generating a notification for output at the first computing device, wherein the notification comprises instructions to change the relative location of the first computing device to be inside the central area.
