Favicon does not appear

I'm trying to add a favicon in HTML, I have seen a video about it and this code works perfectly in the video:

<html>
  <header>
    <link rel="icon" href="images/favicon.ico">
  </header>
  <body>
  </body>
</html>

However, it does not work in my case:

enter image description here

What am I doing wrong?

You can get the files I'm using from here in case you need them (it includes the icon)

It doesn't work, because in your code you wrote <header> instead of <head> and </header> instead of </head>.

It should be like this:

<html>
  <head>
    <link rel="icon" href="images/favicon.ico">
  </head>
  <body>
  </body>
</html>

I think the best way to do this by adding the icon like so

<link type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico" />

PS:the favicon.ico should be in the root of your project directory :)
