Inconsistent PowerBI Addin availability in Powerpoint

We're getting inconsistant availability for the PowerBI Addmin in Powerpoint between users.  A number of users have access to the addin, but others dont.

- Its enabled in the Admin Portal of PowerBI

- Users are added to the PowerBI addin in Azure
The only requirements listed seem to be here;

Power BI add-in for PowerPoint - Admin info - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

....and both requirements are fullfilled;

"To use the Power BI add-in for PowerPoint, users must either have access to the Office add-in store, or the add-in must be made available to them as an admin managed add-in.

In national clouds, the add-in must be deployed as an admin managed add-in, since the Office add-in store isn't accessible from national clouds. For more information, see Deploying the add-in in national clouds."

Are there other prerequisites that the documentation just assumes?

  • Of course there is. In PowerPoint, each user must enable the "Live services" feature.

      My appologies if it was so simple, imagine I have no clue what you're referring to, what do you mean by the 'live services' feature in Powerpoint.

        No need to apologize, I was trying to be sarcastic. If the below setting is off then nothing will work.
