BCC attendees for a Teams Meeting

I am interested in inviting a group to a TEAMS meeting, but would like to not have the attendees names/email addresses visible to eachother.

You can copy the meeting link and send it by email using BCC? It won't hide the names during the meeting (not sure if you can see email addresses during the meeting?)

    Thanks for sharing but there should be security concerns about copying meeting links. Does it mean that anyone with the link will be able to join the meeting? Remember Zoombombing? At least there is an option to password protect the meeting in Zoom. Am I missing something here? Teams is supposed to be more secured and that's why we migrated to Teams. Please advise. Thanks! 🙂

      garyang If you want to you can activate a lobby for your meetings and only allow trusted users to join the meeting. But if you don't have a lobby activated for your meeting anyone with the meeting link will be able to join the meeting, but they need the meeting link. For zoom you could find scripts that scanned meeting IDs, that is harder do to with Teams meeting IDs since they are longer and not only digits.
