Summary

At first glance, it would appear that you cannot use Unity particles within Unity UI that is set to Screen Space - Overlay. However, there are a few simple tricks that let you implement particle effects in the UI and have the particles render in front of them.

In the next chapter, we will discuss how to use the World Space Canvas Render Mode to have UI elements appear directly in your Unity scene rather than on the screen.
