@Anonymous , This was an issue with Nov 2021 update. Should have been resolved in Dec 2021.

Our photo server originally provides http connection only because it is a file server within our LAN. I have tested with external https website and PowerBI can display the pictures from those websites. Then I enabled the https on our photo server but it still doesn't work. I don't know is it because the SSL certificate I use is not supplied by the verified CA.

My imageurl link is like this https://192.193.168.18:8081/reportphoto/VR468Z819B09.jpg

What should I do if the images are stored in an internal server? Thanks.

Hi @Anonymous ,

There are some considerations for adding images in Power BI, please check:

• The image needs to be in one of these file formats: .bmp, .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, .png, or .svg
• The URL needs to be anonymously accessible, not on a site that requires a sign-in, such as SharePoint. However, if images are hosted on SharePoint or OneDrive, you may be able to get an embed code that points directly to them.

Hi @Anonymous ,

My server allows anonymous users and the imageurl worked perfectly until a month ago. I suspect that it is because my server only provides http: connection and the latest PowerBI does not support http: anymore.
