Need help with creating UI Text

I was following the Roll-A-Ball tutorial and got stuck at creating the UI text.I clicked Create-UI-Text, and my text is very far away from the box as shown.alt text

In the tutorial, the text should be in the box like this.alt text

I’m very new to this.Please help me out.

It’s not that your UI text is “far away.” It only looks like that because the UI text is overlaying on top of the camera.

So all you need to do is position the camera to look at the ball table thing at an angle and set the UI to in-game overlay. Once you hit play, the result is the same.
