Does the M6 II not have Optical Master mode in the flash settings?

It uses the built-in flash to trigger other canon speedlites but it isn’t dumb. I believe you can set power and ETTL and everything as long as it is the Canon Speedlites or Speedlites with the Canon Optical Slave feature such as Yongnuo 600EX-RT.

I would be surprised to hear that this camera does not have an Optical Master mode for external speedlites. Especially since it has a mechanical shutter.

This is what the manual says:
