Remove or hide FaceTime

[370zulu]

I own three Apple TV's: Two MXGY2LL/A's (2nd gen 4K) and one MQD22LL/A (1st gen 4K). The two second gen devices received FacetTime with tvOS17. I have yet to find a way to remove or hide the icon. We will never use this on our TV's. Does anyone know how to remove or just hide the icon? The standard way offloading an doesn't even work.

Just create a folder with any other stock apps you don’t use then move the folder to the bottom, it’ll still be there but out of the way.

If it's not removed, is it logged in by default? Or does it need to be enabled. All the AppleTVs in my house are under my Apple ID....does that mean every FaceTime call I receive will show on the AppleTV? Can all users of the AppleTV use FaceTime, or only the primary account?

I also don't really see it as something I'd plan to use and would like to have it off off logged out if I can't remove it.
