How do I add a play and pause icon overlay to the html video player?

Immortal2004 · May 6, 2023, 2:37am

I’d like to keep the design created by the code below but I want to add an overlay image that will show a paused icon if paused and a play icon when first loading the page and briefly show it when unpausing it. I’ll link the code and the images below.

   <style>

  box-sizing: border-box;
}

.video-container {
  position: relative;
  width: 100%;

What I want it to look like on page load:

When playing, it will hide like the rest of the controls. And when you pause it, the pause icon will display in place of the play icon. I also want to have the ability to use the play/pause icons at the normal position in the bottom left of the video.

i would say try using a click event, did you try that? happy coding

Immortal2004 · May 7, 2023, 3:16pm

I might have tried that but I don’t think it worked.

bappyasif · May 8, 2023, 11:40am

it should!!

what was supposed to happen in that “click event”
how you went about it to make that (intended task) to happen

unless you have already solved it then its okay i suppose, happy coding
