1. A non-transitory computer readable medium containing instructions that when executed by at least one processor cause the at least one processor to perform operations for managing extended reality video conferences, the operations comprising:
receiving a request to initiate a video conference between a plurality of participants;
receiving 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;
analyzing the image data to identify at least one interference region in the physical environment;
receiving visual representations of the plurality of participants; and
causing 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, such that the at least one interference region is devoid of any of the visual representations of the plurality of participants;
selecting a designated area based on a vision problem of a wearer of the wearable extended reality appliance; and
after causing the wearable extended reality appliance to display the visual representations, identifying a speaking participant and moving a particular visual representation associated with the speaking participant to the designated area.
