Auth:api middleware not working for Laravel broadcasting routes

Question

Hi I am using laravel passport to protect my api routes. I am using Beyondcode's laravel websockets package for my socket server. My goal is to access my broadcasting routes for broadcasting only on a token bases.

Here is my BroadcastServiceProvider

<?php

namespace App\Providers;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Broadcast;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;

class BroadcastServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    /**
     * Bootstrap any application services.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function boot()
    {
        //Broadcast::routes();
        Broadcast::routes(["middleware" => "auth:api"]);
        require base_path('routes/channels.php');
    }
}
