Uncaught ReferenceError: ClipboardItem is not defined

I think the thread can be closed. MS fixed it. Thanks
Hi HasnainNutkani ,
Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Community.
The error message Uncaught ReferenceError: ClipboardItem is not defined is not caused by the Power BI JavaScript embedding functionality itself. Rather, it originates from usage of the Clipboard API specifically the ClipboardItem interface which is a browser-provided feature not supported in all environments.
This API is not part of the Power BI SDK, so the error is likely coming from custom application code or a third-party script that is being executed alongside or during the embedding process. As your integration has been stable for years, it’s possible that a recent change such as a browser update, added dependency, or modification in your app introduced this usage. It's also important to ensure the application is running in a secure (HTTPS) context and in a browser that supports the Clipboard API.
If the Power BI reports are rendering correctly and the error is only appearing in the console, it may be a non-blocking issue. However, if the embedding is being affected, we recommend reviewing any recent changes made to your app or libraries and checking the browser’s developer tools to locate the specific source of the error.
I hope this will resolve your issue, if you need any further assistance, feel free to reach out.

Hi Power BI Community,
We've been using Power BI embedded reports inside a production application via WebView for quite a while now — stable and smooth.
However, very recently (as of yesterday), we've started encountering the following error in the browser console:
Uncaught ReferenceError: ClipboardItem is not defined
Our application setup hasn’t changed — same config, same environment, and same WebView.
And we notices that the issue is facing some devices only,
what i am looking for is an official change or announcement from powerbi support,
NOTE:The convertion HTTPS is not feasible in my case
This is currently breaking our internal dashboards and causing display issues across our environment.
