Systems, devices, media, and methods are presented for providing access to media content within a networked system. The systems and methods receive a notification indicating dispensing of an image capture device by a dispersal machine. In response to receiving the notification, the systems and methods generate a media distribution session associated with the identifier. Media instances or content are published to the media distribution session by associating the media distribution session and the identifier with the media instances or content. The systems and methods receive access requests for the media distribution session and, responsive to the access requests, transmit at least a portion of the media instances or content to a requesting device.
