Can you tap to focus lock on the R or R5 in movie mode?

So in spot focus photo mode you can tap anywhere on the LCD and the camera will focus lock there. Same thing works on the Canon mobile app. But in movie mode spot focus, when I tap on the screen, it just moves the focus point but does not obtain focus lock. Is this how its supposed to operate? Did Canon remove this function in Movie mode? I'm seeing the same issue on my R.
