1. A method, comprising:

  • receiving, by a server, videoconferencing environment data including a point cloud map of sensor data of a videoconferencing environment captured by one or more room sensors present in the videoconferencing environment and further including an image of the videoconferencing environment captured by one or more image capture devices within the videoconferencing environment;

    receiving, by the server, participant video of a remote participant of the video conference, wherein the remote participant is situated in a location that is physically separate from the videoconferencing environment;

    removing, by the server, a background portion of the participant video, wherein removing the background portion of the participant video results in a foreground portion of the participant video of the remote participant;

    superimposing the foreground portion of the participant video onto the image of the videoconferencing environment using the point cloud map of sensor data of the video conferencing environment, wherein the superimposing generates composite video of the remote participant; and

    transmitting the composite video for display.
