A cross lap joint is both a very useful and very niche joint that can be used for primarily structural and decorative purposes. From a structural perspective just ensure the workpiece that is loaded, is the bottom side of the joint. From a decorative perspective, this joint is used frequently to allow pieces of wood to cross over each other without taking up 2x the space.

Hope you learned a little bit from the video! Look forward to seeing you next time!
