How do I enable copying of visuals in my Power BI report?

Hi,

I want the viewers/users of my report to be able to copy or screenshot a visual in my report. 

There is a copy feature in some visuals when I published it. However, for other visuals such as the custom visuals they don't have it.

@HersonD ,

Some certified custom visuals support the copy feature. If your custom visual is certified, you should see the “Copy visual as image” option. Unfortunately, non-certified custom visuals might not support this feature.
Please check this doc for more details - Copy and paste a visualization in Power BI. - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

If copying/screenshots are crucial, consider using standard Power BI visuals instead of custom ones, as they have better built-in export capabilities.

I think they'll need to download the visual before they can copy it - they can go to the 3 dots and then get more visuals

screenshots should work fine though.
