api.channel.join(connection.id, 'my_channel');

api.channel.leave (connection id, channel id, callback)

You can remove any connection from a channel by id anytime you need.

api.channel.leave(connection.id, 'my_channel');

api.channel.broadcast (channel id, data, callback)

Try sending your message to channel "all" for boradcasting every client:
