receiving a second selection of a second three-dimensional model of the plurality of three-dimensional models of a second presentation screen of the plurality of presentation screens;

receiving a second presentation stream, wherein the second presentation stream is received from a second client device of a second participant;

mapping the second presentation stream onto the second three-dimensional model of the second presentation screen while the first presentation stream is mapped on the first three-dimensional model of the first presentation screen; and

from a perspective of a virtual camera of each of the first participant and the second participant, continuously rendering for display the three-dimensional virtual space with the first three-dimensional model of the first presentation screen including the first presentation stream and the second three-dimensional model of the second presentation screen including the second presentation stream simultaneously, wherein the rendering is performed from the perspective of the virtual camera of each of the first participant and the second participant as the perspective of the first participant and the second participant is continuously updated as each moves about the three-dimensional virtual space.

9. The device of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise identifying a set of participants from the plurality of participants allowed to consume the first presentation stream based on security parameters or a position of a respective avatar of each of the set of participants with respect to the first three-dimensional model of the first presentation screen in the three-dimensional virtual space.

10. The device of claim 8 , wherein receiving the first selection based on an input received by the first client device, availability of the first three-dimensional model of the first presentation screen, or a position of a first avatar of the first participant in the three-dimensional virtual space.

11. The device of claim 8 , wherein the first presentation screen comprises audio and video data captured by the first client device.

12. The device of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise removing the first presentation stream from the first three-dimensional model of the first presentation screen based on a position of a first avatar of the of the first participant in the three-dimensional virtual space with respect to the first three-dimensional model of the first presentation screen or an input received by the first client device.

13. The device of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of three-dimensional models of the plurality of presentation screens are of varying sizes.

14. A system for presenting in a virtual conference including a plurality of participants, comprising:

a processor coupled to a memory;
