    I have GUI that contains TextMeshPro object. How can I get it by using GameObject.FindObjectOfType<TextMeshPro>()? When I try to figure out what it contain, console return me null.

    There are two different classes. TextMeshPro is the one that exists in the scene separate from the UI system. What you want is the TextMeshProUGUI class.

    GameObject.FindObjectOfType<TextMeshProUGUI>()
