Hi jstearnes,

 

The embedUrl cannot be directly used in browser. You'll need to do some coding(js, C#, and so on) to consume the embedUrl for embedding. The sample code below is written with PowerBI-JavaScript api. You can refer this article for more details. :smileyhappy:

// Get models. models contains enums that can be used.
var models = window['powerbi-client'].models;

var embedConfiguration = {
	type: 'report',
	id: '5dac7a4a-4452-46b3-99f6-a25915e0fe55',
	embedUrl: 'https://app.powerbi.com/reportEmbed',
	tokenType: models.TokenType.Embed,
	accessToken: 'h4...rf'
};

var $reportContainer = $('#reportContainer');
var report = powerbi.embed($reportContainer.get(0), embedConfiguration);

 

Regards

Also, using the embedUrl on it's own should result in some sort of error, not in the browser hanging with no feedback
