1. A system, comprising:
one or more memories configured to store priority multimedia input data comprising a first priority value for a first multimedia signal and a second priority value for a second multimedia signal, wherein the first multimedia signal comprises content received from one or more content servers and the second multimedia signal comprises multimedia content received from an application; and
at least one processor each coupled to at least one of the memories and configured to perform operations comprising:
receiving audio data detected by a sensing device and relating to a multimedia switching event;
determining that the audio data corresponds to a multimedia switching action comprising a multimedia initiation action based on a determination that the audio data has caused the second priority value to increase above the first priority value; and
generating a multimedia switching actuation signal configured to instruct an overriding multimedia device to switch an output of the overriding multimedia device from the first multimedia signal to the second multimedia signal; and
transmitting the multimedia switching actuation signal to the overriding multimedia device to display the multimedia content received from the application.
