EOS 5D Mark IV High speed doesn't turn on when using LCD screen, glitchy photos

I need some help I have a Canon EOS 5D MARK IV and my high speed doesn't turn on when I try taking pictures through the screen instead of looking into the glass?

I tried so many things but I can't seem to get it to be an option to click. 

also when I take pictures I'm not sure why my camera glitches to take the photo?

What do you mean by "glitches". What do you mean by high speed. Are you talking about the drive mode. Not all lenses support high drive shooting.

Monica,

I do not know what page  this is on in your Manual, but I think it has to with setting up your Silent LV shooting. From what I've read, if it's set to Mode 2, it disables your Continuous shooting in Live View. I believe it needs to be set to either Mode 1, or disabled.

If you go to this web site:

https://support.usa.canon.com/kb/s/article/ART166265https://support.usa.canon.com/kb/s/article/ART16... 

and read up on "Configuring Silent Shooting (EOS 5D Mark IV)",

it will explain how to do that.

The notes at the bottom even address your very problem.
