Add text above HTML5 Video

Surely you are looking for more than this:

<div class="container">
    <video id="video" width="770" height="882" onclick="play();">
        <source src="video/Motion.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
    </video>
    <div class="overlay">
        <p>Content above your video</p>
        <form>
            <p>Content Below Your Video</p>
            <label for="input">Form Input Label</label>
            <input id="input" name="input" value="" />
            <button type="submit">Submit</button>
        </form>
    </div>
</div>

If you want to put the content on top of the video, you would use some kind of positioning:

.container { position:relative; }
.container video {
    position:relative;
    z-index:0;
}
.overlay {
    position:absolute;
    top:0;
    left:0;
    z-index:1;
}

You can use top and left position to be in percentage. as it will auto adjust top text when the window content size will change

<div class="container">
    <video id="video" width="770" height="882" onclick="play();">
        <source src="video/Motion.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
    </video>
    <div class="overlayText">
        <p id="topText">Content above your video</p>
    </div>
</div>`enter code here`

#overlayText {
 position:absolute;
  top:30%;
  left:20%;
  z-index:1;
}

#topText {
  color: white;
  font-size: 20px;
  align-self: center;
}
