How do you include the bcc option in a Teams meeting invite

Jennifer Guille 10

I wish to include a Group in an invite to a Teams meeting.

To keep addresses private between members of the group I use Bcc when sending such an invite.

I no longer seem to have that option. Can I implement this?

Hello Jennifer. At this time Microsoft Teams does not support a native Bcc (blind carbon copy) option for meeting invitations. This means that whenever you invite a group to a meeting, all the invitees can see each other's email addresses. When you have guests who are external parties, and especially when inviting very large groups, privacy can be a concern. The best headache free workaround is to send individual calendar invitations from Outlook. Each invitation should still include the same meeting link, and each invite can go to one recipient at a time, but in the end it will behave like Bcc. Each invitation will show on the individuals calendar and the invitee's will not know those others included on the guest list for the meeting.

Best regards,

Come on Microsoft. It's 2026, we have AI that can summarise our meetings, but we still can't send a BCC invite to external guests!
Yes, we have the Outlook workaround, but do you know how many people have missed meetings because they didn't add the invite into their calendar from the outlook email.
Privacy is a concern so BCC is necessary, but so is making sure the invites appear in the attendee's calendar.
Please Microsoft fix this!
