Abstract

Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer-readable media are provided for managing extended reality video conferences. In one implementation, the computer-readable medium may include instructions to cause a processor to: receive a request to initiate a video conference between a plurality of participants; receive image data captured by at least one image sensor associated with a wearable extended reality appliance, the image data reflecting a layout of a physical environment in which the wearable extended reality appliance is located; analyze the image data to identify at least one interference region in the physical environment; receive visual representations of the plurality of participants; and cause the wearable extended reality appliance to display the visual representations of the plurality of participants at multiple distinct locations other than in the at least one interference region.
