You ask a good question, and it's surprisingly difficult to solve in the Power BI ecosystem.
As you've correctly stated, the Power BI viewer app is being deprecated in December 2023, so that's really a no-go to continue using going forward.
Your main two options, then, are really to either:
- Code your own solution, or
- Using a 3rd party tool.
If you code your own solution, all I can say is goodluck - because it is quite difficult. You'll have to learn the Power BI Javascript SDK.
If you use a 3rd party tool, you have a few different options to try. You can try out some of the Chrome extensions that attempt this, but they are all either totally broken, extremely buggy, or really, really barebones and not robust enough for many people. I know because I used to maintain one of my own a few years ago, but it was always prone to breaking since it was basically an autoclicker.
However, I have built a custom cross-platform desktop app for this called Displagent, it's built exclusively for Power BI. It allows you to build highly customizable slideshows for your Power BI reports, called Report Slideshows. You can choose certain tabs and/or report bookmarks to use, order them, give them each a custom display duration (in seconds), and you can choose a refresh interval to automatically update your visuals and keep everything up to date. My users really like this feature a lot, plus it has Autolaunch on machine startup and automatic updates.
If you're interested, come check out the site or just message me with questions. Even if you don't use my app, happy to offer any assistance that I can.
