Microsoft Outlook 2016 – Blind Carbon Copy (BCc)

If you add a recipient's name to the blind carbon copy Bcc box in an email message, a copy of the message is sent to the recipient, but the recipient's name isn’t visible to the other recipients of the message (names entered in the To or Cc boxes).

The only person who can see the names of Bcc recipients of a message is the sender.

When you first use Outlook, the Bcc box doesn’t appear. After you turn on the Bcc box, it appears every time you create a message.

Note:

Bcc recipient names do not appear when you preview messages in the Reading Pane. Only recipients on the To and Cc lines appear.

Using Tell Me to enable the Bcc field:

In an email, simply typing “bcc” in the Tell Me box will show the Bcc Field command, so you can simply click on it to automatically add the Bcc field to your email.

 

  

Adding Bcc recipients to a Meeting Request:

You can Bcc (Blind carbon copy) someone in a meeting request by adding that person as a Resource. Whoever you add as a Resource receives the meeting request, and can accept or reject it, but other people you invite to the meeting don’t see that person on the list of attendees.
