The following is community feedback provided by contributor MA-Maddin who kindly provided a fix. This issue is just created to track for the PR that has been reviewed:

I was going through the "Host ASP.NET Core SignalR in background services" tutorial, but then wondered why SendTimeToClients() isn't called anywhere.
I first thought that this method is used by the server to send the current time to clients, but that's actually done by _clockHubContext.Clients.All.ShowTime(DateTime.Now);

Furthermore, it makes no sense that a(ny) client sends a time to all clients.
