Hi, 

 

Have you tried adding ?chromeless=true to the end of your report's URL string? Should look like this:

 

YourReportURL?chromeless=true

 

Once you get it to display in chromeless mode you can put the browser in full-screen mode (Press F11 Key).

    Yes, I know I can put the browser in full screen mode, but the issue is that I can't put the Power BI app in full screen mode. So everytime the page is refreshed Power BI full screen mode is turned off but the Chrome full screen remains. It's not that bad but we still don't get a nice clean report page and have some black bars with info at the top and the sides of the page. 

    By the way I've spent my whole afternoon on checking if the Power BI website with my report or dashboard open on it is auto refreshing when a scheduled refresh occurs and the answer is NO. I have tried this on report, on dashboard with pinned live page and on dashboard with only one visual and nothing happend for several scheduled refreshes.

     

    So if we want to display information which is being updated we have to force the browser to do it and lose the Power BI full screen mode.
