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.

I want to blind copy people when I send an invite.

We need a bcc line for calendar invitations because we send them for events to external clients and we cannot share their personal data (email addresses) with the other attendees. This is for smaller, personalized events that don't run through our marketing automation platform, but we still have to be mindful of sharing client data.

We are now having to run clinics with video conferencing to our patients during Covid. We need the BCC availabe for patient confidentiality as we will want to host multiple attendee group sessions. Please can this be looked at urgently?

Just add a bcc field on top of invitee and optional.... Or add 'Virtual event/ Virtual meeting' as one of the New Item on invite.

Not all people want their email shared so a BCC would be useful.

We are using outlook for educational purposes and privacy laws prevent us from sharing emails between families/students. We need the ability to BCC or hide attendees.

A FYI email bar, below the Bcc bar, would allow the receiver to store non-critical emails, that are sent as information only. the receiver could catch up on the FYI emails as time allows and not be bothered in their normal business email work.

bcc should be automatic in Outlook as a to field. Why do I have to look up how to add it in the to: address field. Waste of my time

Yep - As per others, U.K. Local Government - Need to be able to send invites to multiple people outside our organisation but show all e-mail addresses to all (GDPR)

In order for us as an organisation to comply with GDPR, we need MS to develop the ability to Blind Copy meeting invite recipients. Please treat this as a priority development.

Please add BCC fields into meeting invites for Outlook and Teams Calendar and related apps. This will ensure compliance with GDPR when inviting multiple attendees from different organisations

I would like to request that under Optional in the New Team Meeting that a Bcc is created. As with emails this would enable us easily to blind copy in external invitees and ensure we abide by the data protection standards. There may be a way but at the moment this is not obvious, and putting in under Optional would make it simple.

Outlook should allow users to enter contacts in the "bbc" field for setting up a meeting via outlook! This option is more than necessary in today's internet-based business world and important for enabling data protection at e-events with various clients.

This is interesting when you arrange a conference call or a web-meeting and you want to avoid people replying to all or getting e-mail addresses.
