Discord.js Bot mentioning Voice Channels

I have a specific event (voiceStateUpdate) that has to mention sometimes a Voice Channel:

            channel.send(`The Channel is:`+"``"+`<#${newMember.channelID}>`+"``");

As one can see, I want that the channel is being mentioned with those `` around them, so the channel in Discord is in this black box. But my actual output looks like this:

The Channel is: <#1234134234134>

So in Discord this Black Box works, but the Channel is displayed not with its name, but with the ID

To get the right result, you simply imitate Discord's conversion of the format <#CHANNELID>.

channel.send(`The Channel is:`+"`"+`${newMember.channel.name}`+"`");

This will get the exact same result, as if one would post as a user the message with Discord's conversion form

Try it this way:

channel.send('`' + `The Channel is: <#${newMember.channelId}>` + '`');

For a single line code block you only need to wrap it in grave accents once.
