Using "Send an individual message to each recipient"

[ArpiLajinian]

Does "Send an individual message to each recipient" work the same way as bcc?

Will the recipient be able to see the names of other recipients of the message?

Yes the "send message to each recipient" is the BCC for Canvas Messaging.  Also, when you do that, it gives you one sent message for every person on the list.

Also, if I remember correctly, I believe any regular message sent to over 100 people is automatically converted to the sending individual messages to each student.

This is really frustrating because I thought individual messages just meant it literally sends an individual message - I did not know that if you DO NOT check this option, that everyone in the group you send a message to will be able to see the names of the other recipients. WHY IS THERE NO OPTION TO SEND A GROUP MESSAGE BCC?

I get that a Bcc is good for messaging but why is it important to an instructor/teacher that " it gives you one sent message for every person on the list."? This means you inbox fills up with unnecessary emails

Is there a way of changing the default over 100 people?
