Embed Live PowerPoint - Grey Margins?

I have a dashboard page that is the standard margins (16:9) and is set as Fit to Page. When I embed live to PowerPoint, there are fairly signigicant grey margins on the left and right of the dashboard page. Is there a way to get rid of these?

Can you please let me know which lines that you are referrring to ? Or please share your dashboard image if it is not confidentail. I guess your actual report itself contains left and right padding, may be check if the actual report itself looks the same

Hi @Data12349 , Could you check for these please 

  • Match Aspect Ratios:

    • Set the Power BI report page and PowerPoint slide to 16:9:
      • In Power BI, go to Page View > Custom Size: Width: 1920 px, Height: 1080 px.
      • In PowerPoint, go to Design > Slide Size > Widescreen (16:9).
  • Use Fit to Page:

    • Ensure Fit to Page is enabled in Power BI Service before embedding.
