Hello, I have integrated a Ring wired doorbell thanks to the ring-MQTT add-on. I have created a Picture Glance card that shows the live stream from my Ring camera. This is the code:
camera_view: live
fit_mode: cover
type: picture-glance
title: Kitchen
image: https://demo.home-assistant.io/stub_config/kitchen.png
entities: []
camera_image: camera.03cabcc9_ring_mqtt
Whenever I am not watching this card, is the live stream stopped or does it continue to run in the background?

I guess there is not an active live stream in the background when I change to a different dashboard or I close the HA app based on the logs:
