I am following the tutorial https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-hub/iot-hub-live-data-visualization-in-power-bi, but I get to the point that I need to authenticate Power Bi. I normally use Hotmail for all my Microsoft work, but it says I cant use that. The office 365 I am running is my own and not part of a business. So I used my College email and that seem to work, but when returned to the screen nothing seem to change. I pressed the create button and I get the following messages.
Hi @smiske,
Have you firstly used your College email to sign up for Power BI, then use the email for authorization? ![]()
Regards
Is there any forward movement on this issue?
Yes I have,
Should I share the e-mail here?
