How to Add Bcc Recipients in Gmail

By , About.com Guide

While every recipient can see the To: line of an email you sent in Gmail, you can also deliver a message to multiple recipients with their email addresses hidden to all others.

Bcc, blind carbon copy, does the magic. The Bcc: field works just like the To: field when you address a message in Gmail, you just have to show it before you can use it.

Add Bcc Recipients in Gmail

To add Bcc recipients to messages in Gmail:

  • Select Compose from the left Gmail navigation bar.
  • Type the primary recipient in the To: line.
  • Click Add Bcc.
  • Enter all the recipients' email addresses in the Bcc: field.
  • Continue editing your message and eventually click Send.
