How do I enable the visualizing lists feature on Power BI?

On SharePoint I am trying to integrate a list to Power BI (Integrate->Power BI->Visualize the list).

But an error appear on a new tab that says "You cannot use Power BI to visualize this list. Looks like the feature for visualizing lists is turned off. Please contact your admin to enable this feature."

How can a request this feature? Or how can I utilize SharePoint and maintain real time data updates/changes in my Power BI dashboard that I am trying to build? My goal is to connect the two together that way I don't have to "reupload" the data into Power BI to get the most current information.

In the PowerBI admin portal there are settings the your capacity admin controls.  I am guessing this setting is turned off currently:
