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.

        Thanks, I see it in Microsoft Tenant, but when I create the smb meeting in testing tenant, no the translation option. Do I need turn it first in Office 365?
