Laravel /broadcasting/auth Always Fails With 403 Error

Question

I have recently delved into Laravel 5.3's Laravel-Echo and Pusher combination. I have successfully set up public channels and moved on to private ones. I am having trouble with Laravel returning a 403 from the /broadcasting/auth route, no matter what I do to try to authorize the action (up to and including using a simple return true statement). Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

App/Providers/BroadcastServiceProvider.php:

namespace App\Providers;

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

class BroadcastServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    /**
     * Bootstrap any application services.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function boot()
    {
        Broadcast::routes();

        /*
         * Authenticate the user's personal channel...
         */
        Broadcast::channel('App.User.*', function ($user, $userId) {
            return true;
        });
    }
}

resources/assets/js/booststrap.js:

import Echo from "laravel-echo"

window.Echo = new Echo({
    broadcaster: 'pusher',
    key: 'My-Key-Here'
});

window.Echo.private('App.User.1')
    .notification((notification) => {
        console.log(notification.type);
    });

I can see the event and it's payload in my Pusher debug console, it is simply failing once it hits the auth route.

Error 403 /broadcasting/auth with Laravel version > 5.3 & Pusher, you need to change your code in resources/assets/js/bootstrap.js with

window.Echo = new Echo({
    broadcaster: 'pusher',
    key: 'your key',
    cluster: 'your cluster',
    encrypted: true,
    auth: {
        headers: {
            Authorization: 'Bearer ' + YourTokenLogin
        },
    },
});

And in app/Providers/BroadcastServiceProvider.php, replace

Broadcast::routes()

with

Broadcast::routes(['middleware' => ['auth:api']]);

or

Broadcast::routes(['middleware' => ['jwt.auth']]); //if you use JWT

or

Broadcast::routes(['middleware' => ['auth:sanctum']]); //if you use Laravel 

it worked for me, and I hope it helps you.

I solve it by creating channel route.

Create your Authorizing Channels in routes->channels.php

Broadcast::channel('chatroom', function ($user) {
    return $user;
});

See Documentation : https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/broadcasting#authorizing-channels
