I thought I had posted on this topic, but I don't know if it's waiting for moderator approval or whatnot, but I was running into the issue with the plug-in not working as well. Through a little more trial and error I got it working and wanted to list what I did here in case it would be helpful to someone else.
I was running the most recent version of Photoshop (23.1.1) and ATEM Software Control (8.6.4), along with a very recent MacOS build (Monterey 12.1). I'm using a Mac Mini (2018), which is an Intel. I had tried downgrading both my Photoshop (20-ish?) and my ATEM Software Control (8.6.3), but that didn't seem to work. I had been going along since last fall just updating Photoshop with the hope it would work, but that just never worked.
I looked closer at a few more messages in this thread, making sure I was using the correctly dated versions of the Plug-In (August 16th, 2021) but that version was not helping. I then decided to downgrade a little further back on the ATEM Software Control, this time back to 8.6.1 as I saw someone else mention. After doing that, the plug in worked! That version of the plug-in is dated to March 25th, 2021. I was then able to upgrade the ATEM Software back to 8.6.4, and watching the plug-in software like a hawk, it never was replaced. I'm not sure why that was, but it is actually working now with the most updated software. I'm going to keep a copy of the March 25th plug-in locally just in case if future updates break it.
Big thanks to the people who weighed in this thread! That "workshopping" of the issue really helped me with my experimentation!
