Display Power BI Report in Borderless Fullscreen mode
Hi Dipakb,
Thank you for your update. The flickering you notice during refresh is a normal behavior in Power BI, especially in embedded or fullscreen report views. This happens because, when the dataset is refreshed, the visuals need to re-query and re-render, causing a brief reload of the report container and resulting in flicker.
To reduce this, it’s recommended to use a Power BI dashboard for large-screen displays. Dashboards use cached tiles instead of reloading all visuals, offering a smoother experience with less flickering. Scheduling dataset refreshes outside of display hours and using incremental refresh can also help minimize disruptions.
If you’re using DirectQuery or live connections, set up automatic page refresh with a suitable interval to prevent too much re-rendering. For advanced embedding, adding a loading overlay or transition effect on the front end can help mask the flicker and improve the viewing experience.
Currently, Power BI cannot fully prevent flickering during report refresh, but these steps can help minimize it. For big-screen or kiosk use, a dashboard with chromeless embedding works best.
Thank you.

Thank you for following up! The suggested solution does fix the main issue; however, I’m noticing that the dashboard briefly disappears and then reappears for a few seconds during refresh. This creates a flickering effect, which doesn’t look good from a user‑experience perspective.
Please let me know if there’s a way to prevent the dashboard from disappearing during refresh.
Thanks again for your support!
