How do I display Power BI on TVs?

To display Power BI on TVs, your content needs to be public. You publish the report to the web from Power BI itself, copy the generated link and add that link to the Power BI tool in the TV's playlist.

Important: when you make the content public, anyone on the internet who has the link to your interactive Power BI content can view the published report or visual. Viewing does not require any authentication. So, share the public link only with people you trust.

Publish the report in Power BI

  1. Open a report in a workspace that you can edit and select File > Embed report > Publish to web (public).
  2. If your Power BI administrator has not given you permission to create embed codes, contact them.
  3. Review the content of the dialogue box and select Create embed code.
  4. Read the warning and check that the data is correct. If it is, select Publish.
  5. In the Success dialogue box, you will see some fields with links and codes. Copy only the link from the first field. You will not need the other information.

Note: if you have already created an embed code for this report, when you select Publish to web (public) you will not see the dialogue boxes from steps 2 to 4. Instead, you will see the Embed code dialogue box. Here too, copy only the link from the first field.

Display on the TV

  1. In the dashboard, open the TV's playlist.
  2. Add the copied link to the Power BI tool.
