How to Add Bcc or Cc Recipients in Outlook.com

Email & Messaging

Updated June 10, 2019

When sending an email in Outlook.com, copy it to other recipients using Cc (carbon copy). If you want to copy other recipients but don't want those recipients and their email addresses revealed to others who receive the message — such as when you email a group whose members do not know each other — use Bcc (blind carbon copy). Also, use Bcc to prevent recipients from using Reply to All to send their responses to the entire group when only you should receive these responses.

Instructions in this article apply to Outlook.com and Outlook Online.
