If $G$ is a compact group, continuous normalized positive definite functions are in one-to-one correspondence with unital quantum channels acting as Fourier multipliers on the group von Neumann algebra $\mathrm{ VN}(G)$. We study the convex geometry of the convex set $\mathrm{ P}_1(G)$ of normalized positive definite functions, equipped with the topology induced by the norm topology of the Fourier algebra $\mathrm{ A}(G)$, and its relation with the structure of $\mathrm{ VN}(G)$. We show that the von Neumann algebras of two compact groups $G$ and $H$ are $*$-isomorphic if and only if the convex sets $\mathrm{ P}_1(G)$ and $\mathrm{ P}_1(H)$ are affinely homeomorphic. We also describe the group of affine homeomorphisms of $\mathrm{ P}_1(G)$ in terms of Jordan $*$-automorphisms of $\mathrm{ VN}(G)$.
