Skype Broadcast Meeting Roadmap?

We've trialled SfB Broadcast Meeting, and found it promising but a bit limited at present - screen sharing for us is a major requirement - however I can't find a roadmap or similar with information on when/if that function (or any others) are going to be introduced.

 

Are there ongoing plans for SfB Broadcast to be developed, or is it a "garage" project that's out there but will now be ignored and left as-is?

    Skype Meeting Broadcast is planned to be enhanced. Q&A was added in the last few weeks. And in the coming soon category - expect to see a live translation preview. Check out the Microsoft keynote speaker (Zig Serafin) at EBC to see a very early prototype demo. Items get public on the roadmap when we have a high confidence date (The when) and specifics (the how). Nothing to say about the when yet but I can share some insight on the how. It’s very likely to utilize some or all of VbSS (Video based Screen Sharing). You can get a taste of that in the SfB 2016 Windows client.

      is there any information about when the translation feature available for Skype Meeting Broadcast?
