Embed PBI Report to PPT which is hosted at PBI report server

[Vanchy_Liao]

Hi all,

    i am searching an solution to embed PBI report to PPT which is hosted at PBI report server.

    the best solution so far is "Web Viewer" plug-in developed by Microsoft, but it will be removed from App Source from 2024/12/2.

    is there any alternative solution?

    thanks for replying~

Hi, @Vanchy_Liao 

It is true that the Web viewer you said is about to retire due to various problems. You can consider using Live Web as an alternative to it. Or use Webview2 to develop an App-ins

Hi @Anonymous,

    I have found two alternative solutions, but both of them have security issue:

    1. LiveWeb: using ActiveX which is no longer support.

    2. SlidesLive: scanned by VirusTotal and there is a suspected issue.

    if i have to develop by myself, is office add-in a good solution? or i have to use WebView2 to develop?

Hi, @Vanchy_Liao 

Yeah! External app-ins will have problems. The best way is to build an app-ins yourself. Office officially announced that webview2 will be the next generation of office app-ins web enhancement plug-in.

Of course, you can use ChatGPT to easily write the corresponding code of this plugin, and you only need to complete the function of loading the web page.
