How to BCC guests to a Teams meeting?
garyang a couple of ways. After you create a meeting in Teams you will see the meeting link so you can grab the link from there or immediately go into the meeting and grab the "meeting details" copy and send an email.
You can also create the invitation in Outlook and put the attendees under resource to create a bcc invitation
Just informed that BCC (Resource line) attendees can see each other if they look at scheduling. How do you turn this off?
Melaina_Neschke Are you users creating the invitation from Teams? Please ensure they are using outlook and not Teams for the calendar invite. Only the meeting organizer should be able to see who responded and was invited. What version of Outlook are your users using?
Here are few other options:
1. Use the web version of Outlook to send the invitation out. Under Response Options you can select Hide attendee list
2. In the desktop version you could try turning off Request Responses (I have not tested this so would love any feedback if anyone does).
3. Have them save the calendar invite as an ical, then attach it to a regular email or place it in a shared folder and create a link the email to add to the calendar. HOWEVER, I encourage you to have them "cancel" the invitation prior to saving the invitation to ensure no-one could go into the scheduling assistant to see who responded.
Now if the meeting organizer needs to know who has RSVP'd then depending on the number of invitations being sent out they could do a few things. Send an email inviting them to the event and then:
1. Use voting buttons in Outlook and then send the ical to those who respond yes
2. Use Forms and Power Automate to automatically send the invitation.
Lot's of options. I hope one of these helps you.
Sarah Gant This is what I see. I don't have the option to hide attendee list?? I have Version 2104 (Build13929.2029)
Any advise?
Thanks,

Hide is only available in Online Outlook. BCC isn't available in invite recipients in Outlook to my knowledge. Teams invite from TEAMS, no BCC either.
So the way I understand it is you can't send an invite to a meeting in Outlook or TEAMS wo more than one recipient without the other recipients seeing the others email addresses, not acceptable at all for privacy reasons.
