Power BI in digital signage

It widely depends on what you want to show on your signage.

Is PowerBI the only service you want to show on your display?

We have multiple screens setup in our office and they are all connected up to one PC (Windows 10) via a splitter. You can have PowerBI open up on Google Chrome with an automatic refresh on a timer (Chrome Plugin: Auto Refresh) with a program called "AutoIT AnalogX AutoTab - http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/System/autotab/Freeware.htm" that switches windows open on your desktop on a timer.

You can also make PowerBI open reports in a "Windowless scheme" by adding ?Chromeless=1 at the end of your URL.

In my experiance, I've never found decent Digital Signage software that does what we want it to. We have always used a "Windows" solution.

Hi, we are about to relese an update to Display Monkey that would enable you to show Power BI tiles and reports. Display Monkey is an web based open source digital signage solution on the windows platform. 

From what I know, Valotalive digital signage software is one of the most advanced ones in the market, e.g.

• Microsoft registered partner; has secure integration with Azure AD authentication (so no public URLs are needed at any stage of the process so your shared data is safe and not accessible by anyone outside the company)
• You can set it to automatically cycle through different reports or dashboards, choose to show specific content more or less often, etc. 
• You can share content from any workspace you have access to and not just from the ones you own
• Valotalive provides additional flexible filters for showing specific tabs, reports, or pages only
• You can show up to four different reports, dashboards, or report pages on the screen at the same time
• There are also interactive reports – You can explore your Power BI dashboards directly on the digital signage display which can be pretty handy

Here's how to set it up (it's really easy to do in just a few minutes, and you can simply try it with your laptop for free before displaying anything on the info screen): https://valota.live/apps/power-bi-digital-signage/

Hope this helps someone looking for this information!

I am working with Power BI. I am testing to see of our software will work with Power BI.

You may want to try Noventri Digital Signage.  www.noventri.com    You can get the software for free to test. The software can authenticate some services.  Maybe it will work for you.

Hi!

A great question. We have developed secure Microsoft Power BI Dashboards app for Digital Signage or Info Screens. It is very easy to authenticate your MS Power BI with Valotalive. Please see this link for further information i.e a video of how easy it is to authenticate and activate your app. Happy to help with further information.

Hi,

I hope we are not late to the party.

Displaying Power Bi on your office digital signage is a great way to share your dashboards and improve workplace efficiency and productivity.

You can display Power Bi dashboards using Fugo TV Dashboards, even if your dashboards are behind modern authentication like SSO and MFA.

Unlike other solutions, Fugo TV Dashboards will never expose your BI Dashboard access credentials to screen devices and players, instead it accesses them from a fully secure and isolated cloud environment and captures snapshots of your dashboards to display on your screens.

Fugo TV Dashboards is hardware agnostic, so you can run it using on any digital signage platform including low cost hardware like amazon fire TV stick or r-pi as all your data is managed centrally and securely in the cloud.

Lastly, you can select exactly what section of your dashboard you want to show using our handy screen capture tool. Or even pull data from multiple sources and dashboards by splitting up your screen in our Fugo Design Studio. Or create an embedded channel for your team so they can view your dashboards in Notion, Slack, or on your internal website. Fugo TV Dashboard is reliable, stable, and secure.You can learn more about our feature following the link below:https://www.fugo.ai/en/articles/5842212-how-to-share-a-ms-power-bi-dashboard-to-your-digital-signage-screen

I know this reply is coming late for the original inquiry, but just dropping in to answer for any new & future Power BI users who are struggling to get their reports on digital signage screens... 

Fugo offers a pretty simple solution for this via a TV Dashboards feature. It works by recording your authentication steps (then reproducing & storing them) securely in AWS secrets manager. It takes a snapshot of your selected reports & sends them to your screen(s) at the interval you prefer. It works with 2fa as well. You can read or watch a guide to see how it works. 

Authentication can be tricky, and lots of digital signage solutions out there are accessing & loading reports onto players directly, which can crash the less expensive/powerful players. 

Fugo works differently by handling everything in the Cloud, which also means you can run your digital signage set up on cheaper plug & play devices without worrying about crashing them with power-hungry queries & reports. 

It's free to test for 2 weeks & free demos are available to book as well.

Hope this helps! 🙂
