How to make Javascript (raining matrix code) as a background of the website

The problem I encounter is that I dont know how to overlay a text, image, and video on a javascript. I tried to find it on youtube and google but I find no answer. Can somebody help me? Thanks!

<body style="background-color: black">
  

    <canvas id="Matrix" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;"></canvas>
    <script src="./index.js"></script>

  


</body>
</html>
html {
    background: black;
    height: 100%;
    overflow: hidden;
}

body {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    height: 100%;
}
const canvas = document.getElementById('Matrix');
const context = canvas.getContext('2d');

canvas.width = window.innerWidth;
canvas.height = window.innerHeight;

const katakana = 'アァカサタナハマヤャラワガザダバパイィキシチニヒミリヰギジヂビピウゥクスツヌフムユュルグズブヅプエェケセテネヘメレヱゲゼデベペオォコソトノホモヨョロヲゴゾドボポヴッン';
const latin = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ';
const nums = '0123456789';

const alphabet = katakana + latin + nums;

const fontSize = 16;
const columns = canvas.width/fontSize;

const rainDrops = [];

for( let x = 0; x < columns; x++ ) {
    rainDrops[x] = 1;
}

const draw = () => {
    context.fillStyle = 'rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.05)';
    context.fillRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
    
    context.fillStyle = '#0F0';
    context.font = fontSize + 'px monospace';

    for(let i = 0; i < rainDrops.length; i++)
    {
        const text = alphabet.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random() * alphabet.length));
        context.fillText(text, i*fontSize, rainDrops[i]*fontSize);
        
        if(rainDrops[i]*fontSize > canvas.height && Math.random() > 0.975){
            rainDrops[i] = 0;
        }
        rainDrops[i]++;
    }
};

setInterval(draw, 30);

I am expecting the javascript to be the background of my entire website while only using HTML,CSS, and JS.

Using this answer solution, you can use the properties position: absolute to place elements above the canvas.

const canvas = document.getElementById('Matrix');
const context = canvas.getContext('2d');

canvas.width = window.innerWidth;
canvas.height = window.innerHeight;

const katakana = 'アァカサタナハマヤャラワガザダバパイィキシチニヒミリヰギジヂビピウゥクスツヌフムユュルグズブヅプエェケセテネヘメレヱゲゼデベペオォコソトノホモヨョロヲゴゾドボポヴッン';
const latin = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ';
const nums = '0123456789';

const alphabet = katakana + latin + nums;

const fontSize = 16;
const columns = canvas.width / fontSize;

const rainDrops = [];

for (let x = 0; x < columns; x++) {
  rainDrops[x] = 1;
}

const draw = () => {
  context.fillStyle = 'rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.05)';
  context.fillRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);

  context.fillStyle = '#0F0';
  context.font = fontSize + 'px monospace';

  for (let i = 0; i < rainDrops.length; i++) {
    const text = alphabet.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random() * alphabet.length));
    context.fillText(text, i * fontSize, rainDrops[i] * fontSize);

    if (rainDrops[i] * fontSize > canvas.height && Math.random() > 0.975) {
      rainDrops[i] = 0;
    }
    rainDrops[i]++;
  }
};

setInterval(draw, 30);
html {
  background: black;
  height: 100%;
  overflow: hidden;
}

body {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  height: 100%;
}


/* Color of the text - you can change it as you need. */

div {
  color: red;
}


/* These are the properties applied to div that has the "innerDiv" class - you can change it as you need. */

.innerDiv {
  position: absolute;
  left: 10px;
  top: 10px;
}
<canvas id="Matrix" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;"></canvas>
<script src="./index.js"></script>
<div id="wrapper">
  <div class="innerDiv">
    <span>This is an title example:</span>
