Unity UI Tutorial | An introduction
Great games' unsung heroes are great user interfaces. I've grown to love Unity's UI creation system but it admittedly took a little bit to get the hang of. Since making UI isn't at the core of most games' gameplay mechanics, it can be easy to neglect, especially if you don't really know where to begin. In this video, we'll walk through the basic concepts of creating UI in Unity.

I'm only 6 minutes into the video and I already know the next 22 are going to be pure gold as well! Very informative for a Unity newbie! Great pace and you're going over all the little things that are probably trivial for advanced users. Thank you!
Awesome job on this tutorial, your voice, the music, and the information made it easy to sit through
This is such a great tutorial. I had basic understanding of most of the concepts that were covered, but this really helped me to get a better understanding of them, and to clean up some of my own UIs!

Excellent explanation of how anchor points work and the recalculation of Rect Transform when you adjust the anchor points. I finally have a decent understanding of how to position elements on the canvas. Well done and thank you!

Unity's UIUX was awkward, so I couldn't handle the tool properly, but seeing your tutorial allowed me to place it in the scene. Thank you for your help. I'm used to blueprint coding, so it's still difficult to implement interactions.
very clear and easy to follow, thank you
I am extremely new to Unity, but your Tutorial helped me out a lot. I was getting frustrated at the Unity Learn site, I just wanted to learn how to code some basic buttons.

If you change the canvas render mode to camera (instead of overlay) and drag the scenes main camera into it, unity will show the UI in the same box as all the main objects (it will be in the same section as the cube instead of zoomed all the way out).

Interesting, I may have to give that a try. Does it affect anything else from a technical standpoint (Like during gameplay) or is it just the way you choose to edit the UI?

@@jonathantylerdesign It doesnt affect anything during gameplay, it just allows you to set up the UI on the main scene instead of in a separate section (which is pretty helpful when looking at the scaling and position in comparison to other game objects).

How come when I adjus the pannel size the Canvas size also gets adjusted? Also the button is hiden behid the canvas no matter where i set it in the hierarchy. I also set my canvas render move to screen space overlay, the pannel is also set to stretch and I have the same hierarchy (this is a brand new project following this video in unity 2019 lts). I can only seem to follow this tutorial when the canvas is set to world space render mode instead.

remove the camera from the canvas and inventory file and then position your items, then reassign the camera, the view port has to be zero for it to show everything, I think there is a reason why but I can't think of one. The unity guys in Amsterdam were definetely smoking something when making this game engine, it's powerful, if you can find what you are looking for.
Sir,how to connect this ui with game?
Thank you!

My game will have 4 constant UI screens displaying information in each UI at the same time, should I do multiple canvases or one big canvas with multiple panels?

you can always drag and drop the image from its location to the source image input field. You may need to lock the inspector when doing this. There's a lock in the top right corner.

how did you added the background image to the source image? I'm stuck there.
@chumbukitbars2489

If you're still stuck, then do the following: Import image as an asset, click on the image and set to Sprite(2D and GUI) then find the apply button by scrolling down. Afterwards, there should be an arrow on the image in your assets, click the arrow and use the sprite inside of the image. Let me set mine at least.

Good quality but extremely hard to follow video. You do so many things and click so many items that you don't verbally say. I had to pause the video and re-watch loads of times just to find the hidden buttons you clicked without saying anything.
UI builder in Unity is extrememtly non intuitive, and nearly impossible to understand how to do anything. Most guides that try to walk you through UI builder will tell you what to do to make a clickable button that does nothing, and that is as far as they go. They also assume you already know everything and every term, they expect you to know what classes, arrays, etc are. I want a damn drag and drop interface builder, why can't I drag the button where I want it? And what is the difference between making a button on the canvas and making a button in UI builder? Do they work together? if so HOW and why? I just don't get how no one has made a competent UI building app yet. I am getting sick of web based app creation also, it's not a thing and needs to just go away. Honestly it's easier and faster to create a UI using just game objects and a background images with scripts attached that are written by AI. I made more progress this way in an hour than I have in 3 days trying to use UI builder in unity.
