EOS M50 can you start/stop video with wifi or bluetooth?

I own an M3 that I can use for 'vlogging' but the M50 looks so much better in terms of features (like excellent autofocus, face/eye recognition and "limited 4k" - but way better 1080P) that now I'm contemplating purchasing one and say goodbye to the M3.

I managed to connect the M3 to my phone. However, you can take pictures controlling the camera with the (android)phone in the Canon connect app but you can't start or stop video filming this way. That is not really a problem with the M3 since you can do that with a Canon IR remote (or cheap Chinese knock-off - mine actually does the job!)

My question is in what way you could start or stop filming remotely with an M50? wifi? Bluetooth? Is there a special blue tooth gadget or can I pair it with any 'blue tooth thingy'?

If remote control of the cameras video functions (at least starting and stopping) is not possible it would be a real dealbreaker for me...
