1. A method for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
obtaining frame data from one or more cameras associated with the UE;
determining a path of a beam providing communication between the UE and a base station;
identifying, based at least in part on the frame data, a physical blockage to the communication; and
performing beam management for the communication between the UE and the base station based at least in part on a comparison of an area associated with the physical blockage to a threshold associated with the beam, wherein performing beam management comprises switching the beam.
