Collaborate just not working

Hi hopefully some of you will be able to help!

I am trying to collaborate on a project with a friend and he has invited me to collab, made me owner, and I can open the project and the assets are all there but the game isn't put together there is just a blank blue screen. Previously the blue wasn't there it was just blank, but after I uninstalled and reinstalled Unity now it has the blue instead, I've attched an image. I'm a beginner to Unity so hopefully its a dumb mistake on my part and there's a simple solution. Thank you for your time and help!

Hi Keith, going off of your screenshot it looks like you haven't opened a Scene file yet. Scenes are files in Unity that work like levels in a game, where Assets can be placed inside of them and then run using the Play button at the top. Right now, you just have an empty, unsaved Scene loaded. Try searching in the Scenes folder of your project, opening one of the files in there and check if everything loads correctly then. I hope that helps point you in the right direction!
