Ever since I updated mi iMac to MacOS Monterey 12.0.1 the Screen Saver is not accessing Photos. Screen Saver goes completely dark when I set it to Photos. It does do the defaults like "Arabesque", "Shell", Flurry", etc. But not Photos. Thank you.
iMac 21.5″, macOS 12.0
That's a known but with this version of Monterey and Photos. It's been reported here many times. All we can to is continue to report it and use a screensaver that doesn't use image files until Apple releases a fix.

When I first updated to Monterey I had this same issue and immediately went to search the forums to see if other had experienced the issue, however, it seems I was a little too hasty! After I'd opened the Photos app for the first time after upgrade the Screen Saver preferences then gave me the option to select from the Photos app.
I imagine someone else has already stumbled on this, but here goes: creating a "Screen Saver" of saved photos is now an aspect of Desktop. Settings/Desktop and Screen Saver/Desktop gives you the option of choosing a folder of photos, and allows you to choose how often to change the photo. I hope this helps someone.
This really doesn't rectify the inability to select photos on the computer via Screen Saver. Although it's an interesting compromise. I still would like to select my own photos for the Screen Saver feature. Now I'm sorry that I updated my OS to Monterey. If I'd have known I would not have done it. Thanks Apple.
Too hasty again - forget my previous post - the screen is blank when the screen saver kicks in. Will report a bug into Apple.
I have the same question
Same question = same answer.
Was seeing if someone else had figured out how to fix. Same question = NEW answer perhaps?
It is a known bug in MacOS. There is no fix until apple fixes it.
I submitted a feedback
This is fixed now in the recent Mac OS 12.1 update
MacOS Monterey 12.0.1 ScreenSaver and Photos
