Extending the Windows 8 Messaging Hub

Question

In Windows 8 the messaging hub provides a single mechanism for sending messages via the Windows Live Messenger and Facebook protocols.

Are there any extension-points available for adding additional protocols/accounts beyond these, so that you could plug in your own chat protocol?

I'd like to create a Steam Chat extension, if possible, but I require a suitable point to extend from first.

No. There are not any extension points to add functionality to the Messaging hub at this time.

There are no extension points that everyday developers can access anyway. – Jeremy Foster Aug 25 '12 at 06:43

Are there any plans (that we know of) to extend this functionality in the future? – Paul Turner Aug 25 '12 at 09:36
