Broadcast channels mising

Description

When I first installed Rocket.Chat there was a channel type called Broadcast Channel. After a couple of automatic updates were done, this feature seem to have disappeared. Even one of my channels, which originally was created as of the type “Broadcast”, now is just a regular channel.

The online docs still mention it multiple times (e.g., Channels - Rocket.Chat Docs) but it disappeared on my installs. What is going one. Is there an additional step(s) to turn on this feature?

Do you mean this feature?

Ah sorry, I think I see what you mean. It’s a switch on the channel creation page.
For me it’s still visible in V3.18.1 and V4.4.0 as well.
