This error pops every time I write the code for pipe spawn Assets\spawn.cs(1,30): error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'Dataflow' does not exist in the namespace 'System.Threading.Tasks' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

I'm following a tutorial [this video] to learn how to use unity, but at the "Logic and UI" part I had issues implementing text. In order for a score to be shown at the top right of my screen, I have to make the text size very small, therefore only being able to use a small font size (ca. 12), which results in a awful quality. I do not understand why my sprite (800 x 800) fits nicely into the frame, but the font needs to be tiny. Considering that under Game, I have 1920x1080 selected and the bird sprite fits, I was expecting the text box to be able to be larger than 10x10 even if it was only ment for the top right.

@GuyIncognito, I'm new so I don't know what the difference is. All I know is that in this tutorial [this video] he uses Legacy Text and when I try TextMeshPro, I can't reference the Text in my Script.
