[2D] Place video in the background

Question

Hello,

I have a canvas with buttons, texts and other UI elements. I want to add a background that is acutally a video. I am using the video player component to play it. No matter what kind of render mode I set, it just always is rendered over everything else. However, I want my buttons to be in the foreground. Changing the order in hierachy didn't fix it. Does anyone know how to deal with this issue?

Best regards!

All UI elements have a Z height as well as their position in the hierarchy. Have you tried messing with that? It's in the Rect Transform. Try setting it really high and then really low. I can't remember which one is further away from the camera.

I have tried that too. Apparently if you spawn a video player it will create an empty 3D game object with the component attached to it, not an UI element. If I add the component to an actual UI element it won't display anything anymore.
