Abstract: Systems, methods, client devices, and non-transitory computer-readable media are disclosed for enabling video calls which facilitate shared augmented reality (AR) background environments. In particular, the disclosed systems can establish a video call between client devices. In addition, the disclosed systems can enable client devices to segment one or more participants captured via videos on the client devices from captured backgrounds. Moreover, the disclosed systems can enable the client devices to render, in place of the segmented backgrounds, AR background environments to place captured videos of the one or more participants within a shared AR background space to create the perception that the participants of the video call are present in the same location (or setting).
