5. Click the downward pointing arrow and select the HTML button </>.
   (See screenshot below for the buttons in step 5)
6. Delete the existing HTML code from the screen then copy & paste in the code below

7. <p dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;color:#d71750;"><i class="fa fa-video-camera" aria-hidden="true"></i>&nbsp;<a href="https://mymoodle.okanagan.bc.ca/local/kalturamediagallery/index.php?courseid={courseid}">Online Meeting Room</a><br></p>
   

8. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Save and return to course
