    It seems Power BI Desktop blocks an iframe inside another ifframe due to using sandboxed iframe.

    To bypass this issue we would recommend not to use an additional iframe.

    Is it possible to set the source of the outer iframe, the visual in it self?

        I am observing the following in a custom visualization packaged as PBIVIZ:

         

        1) My custom component includes a single Iframe.

        2) The PBIVIZ installs and renders partially in PowerBI desktop.  The IFrame does not load (fiddler can't see a URI request at all).

        3) When published to PBI server, the same component renders fully, including the IFrame correctly.

         

        A few questions:


        1) Is this true?  By design?

        2) Is there a work-around such as embedding the IFrame in SVG or elsewhere?

         

        Thank you!
