Why can't I select this? - Selenium

The following thing is embedded into a webpage. It is not part of the actual site:

enter image description here

What I've been trying to do is select the 'previous meetings' tab, using Selenium in Python.

These are the elements for both buttons (upcoming meetings and previous):

<div role="tab" aria-disabled="false" aria-selected="true" class="ant-tabs-tab-active ant-tabs-tab" tabindex="0" aria-label="Upcoming Meetings">Upcoming Meetings</div>
  ::before
  Upcoming Meetings
</div>
<div role="tab" aria-disabled="false" aria-selected="false" class=" ant-tabs-tab" aria-label="Previous Meetings">Previous Meetings</div>
   ::before
   Previous Meetings
</div>

I've tried driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@class=" ant-tabs-tab"]').click() but that didn't detect the element.

When I view the actual source code of the webpage, these Zoom elements didn't show up, so I think that's why Selenium doesn't recognise it either.

It doesn't have an ID or anything else, so I can't try them. Is there anything I can do? (e.g. Just click a location on the screen)

Or am I doing something wrong?

It seems to be an iframe, starting with

<iframe src="about:blank" name="tool_content" id="tool_content" class="tool_launch" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" webkitallowfullscreen="true" mozallowfullscreen="true" tabindex="0" title="Tool Content" style="height:100%;width:100%;" allow="geolocation *; microphone *; camera *; midi *; encrypted-media *; autoplay *" data-lti-launch="true"></iframe>

If that helps.

Update:

I tried using an extension for Firefox that gave you the exact xpath of an element:

driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div[1]/div/div/div[2]/div/div/div[1]/div[1]/div/div/div/div[1]/div[2]').click()

And this still didn't work - how come??

Try using

driver.switch_to.frame(driver.find_element_by_class_name("tool_launch"))

Due to having an iframe just switch to it

driver.switch_to.frame("tool_content")
