How to show Power Bi on a large TV screen and have the page change after a set number of secounds?

One of my customers wants their Power BI service report shown on a large screen

And want the report they show changed after a couple of secounds, so it rotate between diffrence reports.

 

So I have a few question in regards to this.

1. What is the best way to show it on a large TV screen, should I use the powerBi sharepoint or dashboard? The customer does not have asses to PowerBi desktop.

2. How do I get page in the report to change after a short periode of time?

3. Do the customer need a laptop and licens to have the report open and running or is it possible to do it without?

@ThomasWeppler - there are lots of interesting questions.  Here is what I am thinking:

  1. You may want to develop Reports that specifically take care of the large screen as smaller objects will appear larger when scaled by the screen.  Also, the report was need less interactive features, like tooltips, slicers.  Less features will allow the report to load faster.
  2. I would try Power Automate Desktop.  This should start a web page in full screen mode and basically loop though the different Reports as each will have a different URL.
  3. The laptop could use a Power BI Free licence if the Report is backed by Premium Capacity.  Otherwise you will need a Pro License to see a Shared Workspace.

Hi @ThomasWeppler , answering your questions...

 

I would try a service called Power BI Slider:

1. What is the best way to show it on a large TV screen, should I use the powerBi sharepoint or dashboard? The customer does not have asses to PowerBi desktop.
The user just have to login with his Microsoft Account and then Power BI Slider will load all workspaces and reports from account.

 

2. How do I get page in the report to change after a short periode of time?

There is a setting to make it on reports sections.

 

3. Do the customer need a laptop and licens to have the report open and running or is it possible to do it without?
The Customer will need a microsoft power bi licence (PRO at least)

@Daryl-Lynch-Bzy and @ThomasWeppler I am having the same type of requirement to one of my client.
The Power Automate Desktop is a puzzle to me. 
I was wondering if the approach is still updated or is there any alternative recently.

That sounds like a good way to do it, but I have not worked in power Automate desktop yet.

So I wounder if someone can guide me through how to do this with a few more details.

 

This is what I see when I open power automate in my desktop.
