# Constructor

## broadcastChannel

Constructs an Adapter that utilizes a BroadcastChannel to communicate messages across all scripts of
the same origin, including workers.

**Signature**

```ts
export declare const broadcastChannel: <A>(name: string) => readonly [(event: A) => void, Stream<A>]
```

Added in v0.12.2
