Auto Refresh in web browser- Full Screen Mode

I have a PowerBi live dashboard that updates every five minutes. using a tv with a PC hooked up to it to display the dashboard on a browser, chrome extension to refresh the browser, and I used the Chromeless=1 thing I have seen online. The best I can do it full screen mode on the browser and refresh. That still leaves a lot of unwanted display around the tops and sides of the dashboard. Does anybody have a workaround to allow me to have a dashboard in full screen mode that updates on a timer? Is there a better way to do this that I am not thinking of? What I have now works, just doesn't look as clean as I would like.

  • That doesn't sound like a dashboard to me. Are you sure you're not displaying a report?

     

    (incidentally reports with direct query datasources now also support automatic refresh)

      For sure a dashboard, its under the dashboard section in my workspace. The only way to get it to refresh is my manually clicking the refresh button within the ellipsis.

    Hi Jmccoy ,

     

    If you refresh the web page in full screen mode, it will exit full screen mode. As far as i know, dashboard tiles will refresh automatically after your datase has been refreshed.

     

    Best Regards,

    Jay

      Not sure if there is some sort of setting that needs to be adjusted. My tiles within the dashboard do not auto update. The only way to get them to update is to manually refresh in within the top ellipsis.
