Embed Power BI Visuals
Hello everyone,
I have a Power BI dashboard that I have shared with three colleagues. They need to embed visuals from this dashboard into PowerPoint presentations to share with their target audience. However, when the presentations are viewed by others, the embedded visuals do not display correctly.
Is there a way to embed Power BI visuals in PowerPoint so that they are viewable by anyone, without giving them access to the actual Power BI dashboard? I need to be 100% sure that the target audience can't access the dashboard/change filters, so thats why I am approaching it this way.
Any guidance or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi JohnZiad555 ,
When you use the add in for Power Point there is one option that is to freeze the information like it's a image
MFelix Very good point Felix! Only thing is; the whole reason why I embedded it is because I want to see the "live data" i dont want to freeze it like an image. It should be a live doucment if that makes sense. Any advice?
Hi JohnZiad555 ,
If it's a live document then has stated in the documentation you need to have an user account that can access Power BI, otherwise it won't work.
A Power BI account is used to keep the data secure within the service and users without permissions cannot see and interact with the data if you were abble to overcome that by just using PowerPoint then you get a security breach.The short answer to your question is no, a user without a Power BI account can't have a PowerPoint report with all the functionalities of the Power BI.
