Place UI element in background (Behind ALLLL game objects)

Question

Hey everyone,

So typically all canvas items will be in the forefront of the entire game for a 2d game. I need ONE element to be able to be behind the entire background.

My canvas setting is screen space - overlay

I really like that setting and I'd like to keep it that way, if I need to make a 2nd canvas with a different setting I'd be happy to do that. But I'm just having trouble understanding some of the answers that seem unrelated to what I'm doing.

Thanks!

You can change the sorting layer of a canvas and every item inside the canvas will be in that layer. You can create a second canvas with your background object and set the sorthing layer to a layer lower than the rest of the objets.

I do not find that option... I'm using Unity 2019.4.1
