Call UseFrame only when element is on view port

I'm using the react hook "UseFrame" from react-three-fiber. However, this function is being called at every single frame. Is there a way of calling this callback function only if the react element is within the view port? Should I use a different hook?? I don't want this "UseFrame" hook being called at every frame for those react elements which aren't being showed on the screen.

You can wrap the useFrame hook in it's own component, then only render that component when the canvas is inside the viewport, like this:

import { Canvas, useFrame } from "@react-three/fiber";
import { useInView } from "react-intersection-observer";

function DisableRender() {
  useFrame(() => null, 1000);
}

function App() {
  const { ref, inView } = useInView();
  return (
    <div ref={ref} className="canvasContainer">
      <Canvas>{!inView && <DisableRender />}</Canvas>
    </div>
  );
}
