How to take picture when T7i in video mode?

In T4i, while in video mode (not recording) I could take a picture, but in T7i I press the shutter button but nothing happen. Is there a setting I need to set?

Thanks!

I ask this question and someone told me for T7i, I have to be out of movie mode to take picture, where T4i I can take picture while in movie mode

I just went through all the manuals.

It's disappointing but almost every modern Canon DSLR has dropped this feature.

The 7D Mk II and 70D have a page for this feature in their manuals on this feature so they may still support it but all other recent DSLRS have a statement in the manual that you can not take a still photo while taking a movie.

I think if canon had 4K this would be less of an issue as you could just grab a decent res still but as it is you have to choose between movies and stills, you can't have both.

Thanks..for now I just switch to photo mode to take a picturer then switch to movie mode after..Inconvenient but it's a big upgrade from T4i.
