We have used, relative to position the written content and video relative to container, flex to display as flex container, justify-center to center the text, text-white to change the text color to white.
  • We have used following classes on heading. We have used text-4xl to change the font size, font-bold to set the font weight making the text bold and pb-4 to set the bottom padding.
  • We have used video tag to insert a video in our HTML document and wrapped it inside a div. We have used following classes on div, we have used h-screen and w-screen to occupy full height and width of screen and overflow-hidden to stop video from overflowing outside container. We have used video attributes such as autoplay to automatically play video, muted to mute the video and loop to play video in loop.
