Sharing Screenshots from Power BI

Hi Guys,

 

I would like to ask what is the Power BI stance on sharing the screenshots of visuals with my clients? I am using the free version of the software.

 

Thank you,

Agnieszka

    Are you asking from a license violation/legal perspective, or are you just asking how to share screenshots of report demos you're creating?

     

    I'd imagine it's fine to share a screenshot of something you're visualizing in Power BI Desktop, but obviously the viewer of said screenshot isn't going to get any of the functionality that makes the tool so great, like interactivity.

     

    I don't see anything in the EULA that precludes this:

    https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-license-terms/

     

    You can use something like ShareX to easily drag-and-snap screenshots to a folder and go from there.

      Thank you for the reply! I had a licence violation in mind, couldn't fing anything in the licence agreement and hence were wondering if anybody had any experiences/opinions.
