About Annotator
Annotator is an open source JavaScript library to easily add annotation functionality to any webpage. Annotations can have comments, tags, links, users, and more.

Adding an annotation to any website is easy with Annotator. First, download the Annotator library, and include it in your HTML. Annotator has a simple but powerful plugin architecture. Plug-ins can also be included for adding functionality such as user permissions, tags, filtering, and formatting. More than a dozen projects rely on Annotator for their digital annotation needs and many are open source. Share text and video annotations using social networks or email.

Bideo.js
Bideo.js is a JS library that makes it super easy to add fullscreen background videos. Fullscreen HTML5 background video for the web. Want to play a video in the background of a container or body itself? This plugin will help you do exactly that. The video element in use will automatically adapt to the container's dimensions. It will also resize as the browser window resizes. The plugin doesn't support any overlay as it is easy to implement that with plain HTML/CSS in your code. Video might take a few seconds to load, especially because the sources are added via JS which is something you'll load after the DOM's loading. Until then, you may want to show a video cover, which will be the same as the first frame or the video (or some other image). The support for this is not in the plugin as it's fairly simple to achieve this via just HTML/CSS (just like overlays).
