Letting you know about the WebSocket connections isn't the only thing a WebSocket link can do. In fact, it also gives you a broadcast() method to send a message to all the connected clients. Let's use that to broadcast a chat message in our app across multiple open browser tabs.

That is happening because MSW sends the confirmation only to the particular client that issued that message. That can be handy if you want to communicate with an exact client in your mocks. But in this case, it's not enough. To send the data to all the connected clients, replace client.send with chat.broadcast.
