Helper IIDisplaying Power BI Web Reports As SlideShow
Currently, it's not supported to display report pages as SlideShow in browser. But you can export the report into PowerPoint for SlideShow purpose. For more details, please see: Export Power BI report to PowerPoint (Preview)

Hi DMiradakis, thanks for sharing such useful file and info.. It works fine, schedule is refreshing and dashboards are updating accordingly in full screen and rotating. The issue that I am having is that when I Press esc and close the PBI ones I open it again, it’s automatically starting, there is no stop function. Is something that I am missing ?!

Well, your curiosity towards my project motivated me to push myself this past weekend and discover how to fix the bug. As it turns out, the solution was really quite simple. My issue was that I previously had no experience in handling asynschronous functions. All of my programming experience was limited to procedural programming, where the code (for the most part) fires in the order you write it in. NOT so with some of these Javascript libraries.
Anyways, now the extension will not fire until you actually click the little Power BI icon in the upper right-hand corner. I plan to return to it again soon and add more options for users to work with, such as halting the extension after it has been started.
I have already pushed a new commit to the Github repository's Master Branch:

Thanks for the challenge! 😉 Now that I understand asynchronous function calling and callback functions, I am very excited to see what else I can accomplish via Javascript code.
Anonymous and anyone else who is interested:
I have worked very hard the past week or so and have been teaching myself HTML, Javascript, and CSS. I have completely overhauled the entire extension, and have turned it from a one-click, non-stop extension to a fully operational popup with:
- Play button
- Pause/Stop button
- All timing options
This will be tremendously better than the current version of the extension. I am about to commit it to my Github page (see above links) very soon. I'll post here again when I update it.
Best Regards,

To all who are concerned, I have finally finished overhauling the Chrome Extension. I have redesigned the extension into a fully functional popup with a play/pause buttons as well as drop downs to separate the refresh time and slide time intervals!
It's really cool! 🙂 Check it out on my Github:
