When i was checking canon R6iii i fogured out that it can do custom white balnce direct from video mode.
however canon r5ii i supposed to be higher and this feature shall be included , is there is any solution for it to do it on r5ii without going to photo mode and capture wb then go back to video mode.
if this happened on r5ii it would be a life saver

I'm not seeing any differences when looking at the user manuals for the EOS R5 Mark II and EOS R6 Mark III regarding custom white balance.
When you say you figured out you can be in video mode on the EOS R6 Mark III, where did you find that information?

I'm at a slight disadvantage because my camera has Cinema OS. However, on the R5 mkII in video mode if you set the camera to M, you can press the Q button and set or select a custom white balance with up to five presets.

In my current canon R5ii when i'm in video mode to do custom white balance over 18% gray card , i have to
1- go photo mode do custom white balance on gray / white card
2- take photo of the gray card
3- go back to video mode
4- go to menu
5- assign the picture i took in photo mode previously in video mode custome WB preset
6- adjust / set video WB
in canon r6 iii direct in video mode from Q menu i can push delete button and boom custom wb is don direct in video mode.
In my case i'm an underwater filmmaker and doing all these steps UW while an object appers and you need every while to set your WB whenever you change the depth.
i hope i explained it well

In canon r5ii you need to go to photo mode , set custom WB , take pic of gray card or white card, go back to cideo mode, allocate the picture to cWB mode, then you set custom wb
however in R6 Miii direct from Q menu press delete button and you nail custom withe balance from one place and 1 step🤷🏻♂️
