Hello PBI community,
Another user and I are developing separate dashboards that need to display images provided by web URLs (HTTP/HTTPS). As you know, Power BI doesn't have any built-in visualization for large images, so our alternative was to use a visual from Microsoft's Marketplace within Power BI, "Image by CloudScope.¹" The problem is that our company's security policy has not approved this visual because it doesn't have the Microsoft seal of approval. There is a "PRO" version of this visual that does have the seal of approval ("Image PRO by CloudScope"), but the verified version only supports image calls in Base64 or SVG², not via HTTP/HTTPS links.

²(PRO VERSION)
Is there any visual that accepts HTTP/HTTPS image links with the Microsoft seal of approval?
Could you please recommend a reliable one?
Thank you for your help

Hi @GOLIVE,
It's a requirement for Microsoft certification that a custom visual cannot access any external resources, so you will not find a visual that will load images over HTTP and be certified.
If Power BI is configured to only allow certified visuals, admins can potentially add a visual to the organizational store, which effectively 'whitelists' it (assuming that they will permit this as an option and you aren't using Power BI Report Server).
