Layering HTML Above Video Content

Fleemo

Is it possible to layer HTML over video content, or is video rendered
at the top-most level in a browser? I am trying to layer some HTML
content over a video file using CSS positioning, but the video remains
the front-most thing. I've tried adjusting the z-index so that the
HTML content has a higher z-index value, but no luck. Any way to make
the HTML content the top-most thing?

Here is an investigation, how and in which cases it works to overlay
