Custom visuals in Power BI are basically extra visuals you can add when the built-in ones don’t quite do the job things like Gantt charts, heatmaps, radar visuals, etc.
You can grab them from AppSource or build your own using the Power BI SDK (usually in TypeScript/D3.js). They’re handy when a client needs a specific layout or branding that’s not available by default. Not all custom visuals behave the same across web and mobile so always test before finalising a report.
