Auto Refresh Dashboards and Reports
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.
Adding ?chromeless=true to the end of your report or dashboard's URL will force the Power BI app to display in full screen mode.

Oh, sorry! And thank you very much. That solved it.
You're welcome! Glad that worked for you.
What you gave me solves one part ot the problem.
Lets try to find a solution to the general problem:
Why is that my dashboard, reports and live pages don't get updated when a scheduled refresh occurs?I had 2 screens with the dashboards open on two different browser waiting to see if there's going to be a change in the numbers after the scheduled refreshed but for about 4 refreshes nothing happened.
