Can't find it on macbook with Monterey, including following the advice to search it with Spotlight. Where am I going wrong?

You're not looking for it in the proper location. It's located here:


Monterey/System/Library/CoreServices/Applications/DVD Player



If you forget where it is, just Google for its location.


It can also be accessed by typing, "DVD player" in Spotlight:


Note it has been in that location since at least the introduction of Mojave in Sept 2018.
