    I am struggling to find best practices for creating Unity User Interfaces as a beginner, I am currently working on a RTS/4x type game so it will have a lot of windows, popups, notifications etc... What is the best video tutorial, tutorial or best practice outline in Unity that can explain the best way to go about this? Else I imagine I will have very cluttered Canvas and stuff.

    The most important thing is to understand Anchors and Pivots.
    You can checkout my Asset Better UI (see signature). There I have several videos explaining why you would need Better UI but also touching some important topics about UGUI itself.

    UGUI is the name of the Unity UI with Canvases in the hierarchy (see the name of this forum).
