An embodiment operates by identifying a first user that is participating in an augment reality (AR) meeting space from a first location. A second user participating in the AR meeting space from a second location is identified. A selection of a room configuration for the AR meeting space based on at least one of the first location or the second location is received. The digital canvas is configured in the AR meeting space for at least one of the first user or the second user based on the selected room configuration, wherein a size or shape of the digital canvas is adjusted based on either the first wall or the second wall corresponding to the selected room configuration.
