 ## Documentation
 
+### API
+#### `player.overlay()`
+This is the main interface and the way to initialize this plugin. It takes [an options object as input](#plugin-options).
+
+#### `overlay.get()`
+
+Returns an array of all the overlays set up for the current video.
+
+#### `overlay.add(Object|Array)`
+
+Adds one or more overlays to the current list of overlays without replacing the current list of overlays.
+Returns a reference to the added overlays.
+
+```js
+const overlay = player.overlay({
+  content: 'Default overlay content',
+  debug: true,
+  overlays: [{
+    content: 'The video is playing!',
+    start: 'play',
+    end: 'pause'
+  }]
+});
+const addedOverlays = overlay.add({content: "this is a new one", start: "play", end: "pause"});
+```
+
+
+#### `overlay.remove(Object)`
+
+Removes an individual overlay from the list of overlays. Calling this method with an invalid overlay object removes nothing from the list.
+
+```js
+const overlay = player.overlay({
+  content: 'Default overlay content',
+  debug: true,
+  overlays: [{
+    content: 'The video is playing!',
+    start: 'play',
+    end: 'pause'
+  }]
+});
+const overlayToRemove = overlay.get()[0];
+overlay.remove(overlayToRemove);
+```

 You may pass in an options object to the plugin upon initialization. This
