    Hi hedin123 

    A smart TV should do the work. The company will only need to connect to the service in the internet on the TV.

    for refresh, a Gateway needs to be installed on premises to do the work.

    For maintenance, of course a PC(Remote and/or local) will be needed.

Hi there! I know I’m late to the thread since the solution is already marked, but the OP’s question about looping a slideshow of dashboards hasn't really been answered. The simplest approach is to use digital signage software that allows you to assign individual dashboards (pages/reports) to each slide. Several solutions offer this functionality, but choosing one with a direct API integration will be your most best option.

I know using external software might seem counterintuitive if you’re trying to simplify your workflow but as long as the solution is compatible with the devices you already have (your displays + a Windows PC, for example), it’s not much more effort to incorporate a third-party tool to do the communicating between those & Power BI for you.

Here’s an article that explains how to set up dashboards on screens as a slideshow - hopefully, it’ll be helpful for anyone revisiting this topic in the future!
