Description
Pausing video capture while no clients are active would reduce power usage & heat production from the Pi's processor and the capture card.
This seems related to https://github.com/mtlynch/tinypilot/issues/317 since it also involves dynamically altering the stream.

Research direction
Start by reviewing related issue #317 and tracing the existing video-capture and client-activity flow. Confirm how capture is dynamically altered and define completion as pausing capture when no clients are active while preserving streaming when clients reconnect, with power and heat usage reduced.
