You might be missing the routes to authenticate, by default it's located in routes/channel.php. The broadcast callback should return true if it's authenticated.
Here is an example :
Broadcast::channel('notify.{employeeId}', function ($user, $employeeId) {
$employee = $user->employee;
if (!$employee){
return false;
}
return $employee->id==$employeeId;
});
notify.{employeeId} is your private channel name that you have defined in your Event class/
$employeeId here is the one that you send from echo client, it can be anything, in my case, it's employee ID.
$user is the current authenticated user.
