Power BI PowerPoint Add In - Navigating While In Presentation Mode

[ddavenport]

Hello all, 

We recently started using the Power BI PowerPoint add-in that is currently in preview. We have enabled this at an organizational level and are able to successfully add Power BI reports to PowerPoint.

In PowerPoint desktop, the user is able to navigate the report from the slide, including interacting with filters, changing slicers, navigating report tabs, etc. Once in presentation mode, however, those same interactions are not possible and the user sees a static version of the report. Tool tip messages for interacting with report elements pop up, but the user can not interact with the visuals. 

This occurs with multiple users, all of whom have appropriate access to the reports at an admin level of the workspace. Are there any specific settings that need adjustment for this to work as fully intended in the Microsoft documentation, or is this simply a bug due to the preview state of the add in? 

Any input or perspectives would be a huge help! 

Thanks, 

Dan

Hi @ddavenport ,

It works fine for me, please reload and try it again.

A workaround:

you can try web viewr via embed code (public).
