Add BCC, CC as well as FYI field to meeting requests in Outlook 2016 and enhance the functionality by including it in Teams Meeting.
I would like the option to send meetings requests with BCC, CC so all information about all invitees is not shared with everyone that is invited
Also, Outlook calendar entries need BCC, CC – without showing these and need to extend them to Skype as well as Microsoft Teams Meetings.

Please could the BCC field be added to calendar invites on outlook calendar as it is on emails. Sometimes you want to confidentially add someone to a meeting without gen attendees knowing and you cant on outlook. thanks will be very helpful.
Thank you -

The current workaround provided to send meeting invites from the Outlook Calendar to people without everyone seeing their email address is to add them as a resource, and not a person. However, this then results in people not being required to respond and makes tracking attendance impossible. This is a serious nuisance in the Outlook use and I would hope could be addressed quite easily by providing a bbc option to add people.

It should be possible to send invitations in the Outlook Calendar by BCC, where the recipients don't see all the other recipients, thank you.

Bcc in Outlook when making invites and skype meetings

This feature would be extremely useful where multiple external parties to an organisation are invited to a specific meeting. It protects the invited parties email address from unsolicited correspondences / emails from other attendees.

I select Calendar, as my knowledge of these 2 items pertain. For the 2nd item, this could creatively live outside the Calendar. 1) BCC Option in Meeting Requests in Outlook 365 Cal. Allowing companies to keep their executive's e-mails confidential, while still populating their calendar to ensure they are aware of the appointment and can follow-up with the guests. 2) Although this is something you can enact with the support of Macros - in an environment like mine that Macros use is not permitted across the suite -- I would love to be able to still utilize the calendar to automatically send out weekly messages that do not change. For instance, we remind our Team of Paper Shredding Services every Tuesday. The time frame and service day never changes - so this is how I confirmed we are not able to use Macros in this environment, and my research did not net an alternative. Of course developing templates is fine - but not automated. Make automation available for those that do not enable Macros.

Please allow for a BCC option in outlook appointments, where the attendees contacts are hidden.

I agree! I often schedule training meetings for people who are not connected to each other and would prefer them not to see each other's email addresses.

Sending an invite to a calendar meeting but I don't want the attendees to see each other's email addresses.

Lotus Notes provides this capability. Lack of this feature puts Outlook at a competitive disadvantage.

I completely agree. As I support a CEO and CMO for a medical facility, I often need to send out meeting requests to Physicians and need to BCC in order to keep emails confidential. Using the current process that Outlook has set up "Resources" does not work and puts the first 11 emails in the location field. This is not a good process!

BEST functionality for this allows for the toggle control by the host to show/hide invitees emails but still allow for the responses to come back, so the host knows who's planning to attend. I've seen implementations of bcc where it is literally an FYI and requires those on the bcc list to have to add the item to their calendar manually (e.g., Lotus Notes), and that's sub-optimal. Hosts should be able to hide the invitee information but still see RSVP's.
