Hi @carpe79 ,

We recently released a new feature that introduced better and easy way to convert the live add-in to image: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/improved-image-mode-in-power-bi-add-in-for-powerpoint/

The new feature is easier to discover and introduces two snapshot flavors - one that shows up only if the user has permission to the report and the other shows up for everyone that can access the presentation.

In addition, the image state is respected also when users are using PPT web (which is the old image, was not respected and the add-in was showing only live content).

As a result we disabled the old image capture. We understand that there might be a period of confusion, but we believe that the new experience is providing more functionality and value.
