Overlay Play button over video

Question

I currently have a script that plays and pauses a video onclick. What I would like to do is overlay a play button over the video at the start and when it is paused, and for that same button to disappear when the video plays again.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

HTML

<video class="video"><source src="http://e14aaeb709f7cde1ae68-a1d0a134a31b545b257b15f8a8ba5726.r70.cf3.rackcdn.com/projects/31432/1427815464209-bf74131a7528d0ea5ce8c0710f530bb5/1280x720.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>

CSS

.video {
width: 50%;
border: 1px solid black;
}

JS

// Plays and pauses video on click

$('.video').click(function(){this.paused?this.play():this.pause();});

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;
}

<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>
