I know the title makes no sense, here's an example of what I mean. I know when I have joined other games they have a StarterMenu/Main Menu, and your character/player is nowhere to be found almost like it has just disappeared. Then when you actually join the game or "press the Start button" it loads your character back. How do you do this?

Don't think you can, people usually just keep the character out of player's view and create a new camera.

Oh ok, so I just need to move the camera to another part of the Workspace?

there's a property called "CharacterAutoLoads" in the player service, set this to false in a script to do what you want, like so: game:GetService("Players").CharacterAutoLoads = false and now whenever you want, you can load the character manually with :LoadCharacter()

But that also means the gui will not be able to load into the player.

Nothing is working, can you even move the camera? I tried to manipulate it and kept failing... I have no idea how to do this.

You can keep the camera where it is and place a spawn point in a box behind it. Be sure to set the camera mode to scriptable, though. You can prevent the character from spawning outright, but that can often breaks stuff like physics.
