HTML VizCreator Cert on different Visual

So I'm using HTML Content (Lite), not HTML VizCreator, and on my report it looks perfect, but when I use the PowerPoint add-in to put it into a slide, it's giving me the "HTML VizCreator Cert" pop-up and ruining the visual. I've tried refreshing, tried re-doing the powerpoint add-in, etc. but nothing will make it go away.

This is expected behavior.

What is happening:

  • PowerPoint add-in uses stricter security than Power BI Service

  • HTML Content (Lite) is treated as non-certified

  • PowerPoint enforces certified visuals only

  • The visual is replaced with the “HTML VizCreator Cert” message

Important:

  • Refreshing or reinstalling does not fix it

  • This is not a report bug

What you can do:

  • Use only certified visuals

  • Export the report page to PPT/image instead of live add-in

  • Replace HTML visuals with native Power BI visuals
