connect option not shown

Hi, I want to connect Powerbi service to Azure sql Database. When I click Getdata->Database& more->Azure sql Database then "Download Desktop" Option is shown instead of "connect " option even I used PowerBi Pro(Free Trial). I seen in the tutorial http://radacad.com/power-bi-get-data-from-azure-sql-database that there is connect option after click on Azure sql Database. Please tell me when the connect option is shown and what are the requirements for that? Thanks

Doesn't look like that is an option at the moment, I am seeing the same thing.
