 * Is it possible to embed a video over a background picture?
    If so, how?

 * of course it’s possible. You just need css and html knowledge.
 * html:
 *     ```
       <div class="youtube">
       [youtube embed code]
       </div>
       ```
   
 * css :
 *     ```
       .youtube {
       background: url('location/your-picture.jpg');
       padding: 15px; /*change with number pixel you want*/
       }
       ```

 * Is there anywhere in particular i ought to put the css?
    I’ve tried just tagging
   it on the end of the theme’s css but the picture doesn’t show.

 * There is several ways to custom css.
    most simplest is adding in to your theme
   css.
 * can you post your website link?
