How can I achieve the same overlay on top of an embedded YouTube video in Webflow?

To achieve an overlay on top of an embedded YouTube video in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

1. Create a YouTube embed code: First, you need to get the embed code of the YouTube video you want to display on your Webflow site. Go to the YouTube video page, click on the share button, and then select the "Embed" option. Copy the generated embed code.

2. Add a YouTube embed element: In your Webflow project, go to the desired page and drag and drop a "Video" element onto the canvas. Under the "Video Settings" panel, select the "Embed" option. Paste the YouTube embed code into the provided field.

3. Create an overlay div: With the embedded YouTube video selected, click on the "Settings" (gear) icon to access the video settings. Under the "Position" dropdown, select "Relative." This will make the video container act as a reference for positioning the overlay.

4. Add an overlay div: Drag and drop a "Div" element onto the canvas, placing it directly over the embedded video. Adjust the size and position of the overlay div as desired.

5. Style the overlay: With the overlay div selected, you can add styles to achieve the desired look. This may include changing the background color, adding transparency, gradients, or images. You can also adjust the position, size, and display properties to fit your design.

6. Add interaction: If you want the overlay to have interactive elements, such as a button or a close icon, you can add them within the overlay div. You can use Webflow's Interactions panel to define the behavior of these elements, including hover effects or click triggers.

7. Bring the overlay to the front: By default, the embedded video will be displayed above the overlay. To bring the overlay div to the front and make sure it covers the video, go to the "Settings" (gear) icon of the overlay div and select a higher "Z-Index" value.

8. Preview and publish: Preview your site to see the overlay effect on top of the embedded YouTube video. If you're satisfied with the result, publish your site to make it live.

By following these steps, you can achieve a stylish overlay on top of an embedded YouTube video in your Webflow site. This allows you to customize the appearance and functionality of the video player to fit your design and enhance the user experience.
