Sharing Power BI App on External Teams Channel

I have created a Power BI App within my company's Premium Workspace. I am trying to share this content on a client's Teams server, in which my company has created several member accounts. Is it possible for me to embed the App into a Teams channel on the client's server which does not have premium capacity? Or am I limited to embedding in only our company Teams channel?

 

Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hi Anonymous 

     

    I think your understanding is correct.

     

    If you want to embed for other organizations, then you need to be a guest user of this organization. But based on my test, the following situation happens when you are a guest user in the tenant.

     

     

    If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    In general, for Power BI to work in Microsoft Teams, ensure these elements:

    • Your users have a Power BI Pro or Premium Per User (PPU) license, or the report is contained in a Power BI Premium capacity (EM or P SKU) with a Power BI license.
    • Users have signed in to the Power BI service to activate their Power BI license.

     

    So I think you can share content of the workspace with external users. Here are the steps to follow.

    • You invite the external user to the organization, and they accept your invitation.
    • Give the external user permission on the report.
    • Make sure the external user has a Power BI license assigned to them. If the content is in a Premium capacity, the user only needs a Free license.

     

    For more information, please refer to Collaborate in Microsoft Teams with Power BI .

      For additional context, my company does have the app stored in a Premium Capacity. I have been able to embed the app into our company Teams channel, but would prefer to embed into the client Teams channel. I would still be using the same APP, which is stored in Premium Capacity. I just want to be able to embed the APP into a Teams channel that is not owned by my company, but the client's.

      However, your comment makes it sound like the only way to share an APP with external users is to invite them as guests to my organization. Can you confirm I am understanding this correctly? Thanks!
