If you want to have an actual overlay with content you could edit, maybe this will suit you: https://jsfiddle.net/svArtist/9ewogtwL/

$('.video').parent().click(function () {
    if($(this).children(".video").get(0).paused){
        $(this).children(".video").get(0).play();
        $(this).children(".playpause").fadeOut();
    }else{
       $(this).children(".video").get(0).pause();
        $(this).children(".playpause").fadeIn();
    }
});

.video {
    width: 100%;
    border: 1px solid black;
}
.wrapper{
    display:table;
    width:auto;
    position:relative;
    width:50%;
}
.playpause {
    background-image:url(http://png-4.findicons.com/files/icons/2315/default_icon/256/media_play_pause_resume.png);
    background-repeat:no-repeat;
    width:50%;
    height:50%;
    position:absolute;
    left:0%;
    right:0%;
    top:0%;
    bottom:0%;
    margin:auto;
    background-size:contain;
    background-position: center;
}

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="wrapper">
    <video class="video">
        <source src="http://e14aaeb709f7cde1ae68-a1d0a134a31b545b257b15f8a8ba5726.r70.cf3.rackcdn.com/projects/31432/1427815464209-bf74131a7528d0ea5ce8c0710f530bb5/1280x720.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
    </video>
    <div class="playpause"></div>
</div>

Answer 2

I think I will only need to explain this.

when .video is clicked and the video is paused ->
.video{visibility: hidden;}
when .video is clicked and the video is running ->
.video{visibility: visible;}

If you want more code, please comment

On click toggling will work fine too… and it will reduce the jQuery code. .toggle()
