I regularly send out calendar invites to people who don't know each other. I don't want them to see each other's email addresses. How can I set up the calendar invite to behave more like a CC field in Outlook emails? Thanks for your help!

    I found I was able to do this, but I had to log into the web version to access the tools - under the "Responses" section of the calendar booking there is an option to "Hide Attendee List." It doesn't seem like the most intuitive place, but I saw the advice on another forum and was able to follow the instructions.

    Hi @bhs2534523 ,

    Welcome to our forum!

    As i know, there is currently no way to add a person as a true Bcc recipient to a meeting request. 

    Please kindly understand that many functions are not designed at present. To get this feature more quickly, I have found this post which is similar to your requirement in feedback collection website and i have voted for it. Many features of our current products are designed and upgraded based on customers’ feedback. You can also vote for the post or make suggestions on that website and hope Microsoft will notice this in the future. Thank you for your understanding and support.

    Hello,

    I have never seen this type of request before, but here is an article that states to use the Resource field in the Required field:

    https://vtcri.kayako.com/article/471-how-to-send-a-meeting-invitation-and-bcc-attendees

    Press Invite Attendees > Required add people to Resources.

    I'd recommend trying it out with a test group to see how it responds in your environment.

    If this is helpful please accept answer.
