Hi - documentation is not clear on this capability. Can you embed reports from Power BI Report Server?
It is probably possible, however not the usual way to embed reports in Power BI Service. As PBI Report Server is a superset of SQL Server Reporting Services, so I think you can reference this Integrating Reporting Services into Applications.
I'm consulting to the product team internally to offer a embedded demo as those embedding demos for Power BI service. I'll post back if I get any update.
No, I just get the confirmation from the Dev team that the capacity to embedded reports from PBI Report Server is not on the roadmap. You can submit your idea at Microsoft connect.
Hi,
Does this mean that it's required to use Azure service to show a Power BI report in a web application?
Thanks,

Hi all,
I also wonder about this. Do we need Azure when embedding Power BI or can we use different capacity?
Thanks!
Nath_BI - I appreciate this is an old thread, but the answer is you do not need Azure provided your report server and your web server can communicate with one another. I have just successfully embeded one of my reports on a web page;
<iframe width="1000" height="700" src="http://my-server:myport/Reports/powerbi/myreportname?rs:embed=true" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen="true"></iframe>
The "rs:embed=true" is crucial, without it the request gets knocked back by the report server.
Hope this helps.
