• is_active: Whether this client is currently active (sending video/audio)
• last_seen: Timestamp when this client was last seen (for timeout detection)

USAGE:

• Multi-user display coordination
• Client list display
• Connection state awareness
• Timeout detection

Note

The client_id matches the server's assigned client identifier.
