With help earlier I fixed an issue with my video player about playing a video by clicking it, but I cannot figure out how to hide the play button overlay on click. Any help will be appreciated.

HTML

<div class="video-wrapper">
  <video class="video" id="bVideo" loop controls>
    <source src=".mp4" type="video/mp4" />
  </video>
  <div class="playButton" onclick="playPause()"></div>
</div>

Script

var bunnyVideo = document.getElementById("bVideo");

function playPause() { 
  if (bunnyVideo.paused)
  {         
     bunnyVideo.play();
     $(".playButton").toggle();
  }
  else 
  {
    bunnyVideo.pause();
    $(".playButton").toggle();
  }
} 

bunnyVideo.addEventListener("click", playPause, false);
