Power BI Embedded - Can it consume an OData source?

As far a I see on the published resources Power BI Embedded is limited to Azure DW and Azure SQL DB at this point.  There is also reference to sources with basic authentication for direct query.

 

Does anyone know if it could be made to consume an OData source? 

 

Thanks in advance

You can connect to an OData source in Power BI desktop, however currently there's no refresh feature for OData in Power BI Embedded. So if you'd like to refresh, the only way would be manually re-fresh the data in Power BI desktop and re-import the new pbix.

 

 The PG team seems working on the refreshing in Power BI embeded, check Support other data sources Direct Query using Gateway on Embedded Power BI.
