Stefan Åberg I believe it is not possible to block access to the calendar functionality, it is only possible to hide it with an App Setup Policy. https://admin.teams.microsoft.com/policies/app-setup

With it hidden, it is still possible for the user to access via the ellipsis menu as they are still permitted automatically due to their allocated licences. I have tried removing a user's Exchange licence which will remove Outlook from the app launcher but their calendar and appointments are still visible within Teams with or without hiding the Calendar app.
