Hi there, _sebi_

I believe this can be done, see below info.

Teams is enabled by default as part of the various packages, you would then need to disable it for any users who you don't want to have access.

HiAlex_Dunlop

Thanks for the response! In this case I'm aware of these settings, I am wondering however if disabling this feature under Tenant-wide settings will still allow the Teams license to be enabled for users individually from within the User's profile in the 365 Admin Center as outlined in the link you provided.

  _sebi_I beleive the ability to turn off Microsoft Teams at Tenant level is being removed at some point in the near furture.
  
  Using Group Based Licencing (to use this feature you need to have either Azure AD P1 or E3, G3 or A3 subscriptions) would allow you to be able to have different groups of users with different products enabled.
  
  For example you may have a group of "Standard Users" that have Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint & Yammer enabled but nothing else" with another group "Microsoft Teams Users" with all of the above products including Microsoft Teams enabled.
  
  you can find more information on this option in the below link:

  Hope this help.
  
  Thanks
