If you’re using Outlook, CC will be available by default, and you’ll have to click BCC (to the right of the To field) to add a line for it.

Click either one (or both) to bring up new lines, and include email addresses as relevant there before sending your email. To the right of the “To” line of an email draft, you’ll find options for CC and BCC. If you’re using Gmail, BCC is easy to find. Note that BCC recipients cannot see each other either. The difference is, their email address won’t be displayed to the other people on the email chain and as a result of this, they won’t receive subsequent Reply or Reply All messages from other people in the thread.

If you include a person’s email address in the BCC field, they’ll receive a copy of the email in their inbox as if they were CC’d. What Does BCC Mean?īCC means “blind carbon copy,” and it shares some commonalities with CC. CC is the “carbon copy” function found in every standard email platform, including Gmail, and it’s used to send a copy of the email to someone other than the primary recipients in the “To” field.ĬC is usually used when you want to bring someone in the loop without expecting a response from them, or when you want to introduce new people.
