SharePoint embedding

Hi,

So started using power bi with the on-prem report server. All of our reports then were based on a standard size of 1600x720 and it worked great as it was the perfect size to view on our displays. 

 

However, once we moved to Power BI service we found that when we tried to embed our dashboards on our sharepoint online portal, it only gave us the option of 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratio which meant that our dashboards would have a substantial white spaceon the top and bottom complete with scroll bar. To get around this instead of using the Power BI Webpart to embed our reports we instead used the embed webpart which let us specify a specific size. It worked fine except occasionally users we're prompted to sign in but it was fairly automatic so people just accepted it. However with the recent chrome bug:

It has re-opened discussions about the "sign-in" requirement. Other than using the Power BI webpart is there a way to embed a dashboard into sharepoint online that won't result in an occasional sign in.

You could technically use Power BI Embedded, but unless you already have premium it would be an expensive change.
