Showing a slideshow a Power BI Report that is direct queried on a Large TV Screen.

Does anyone know how to show a report on a large TV Screen on a slideshow setting? 
We've got 4 report page and the Idea was to have it on a slideshow that change every x amount of time.
Been seeing other ways like Displagent | The premium application for Power BI slideshows and digital signage etc. but those comes with a $$ price.

I wonder if there is a no cost solution to achieve this

I just did a test and yes, Power Point does not auto-refresh the Power BI report while the slideshow is running. However, if I close and re-open the PP, it does show the refreshed data. I know it's not the best option for you. You may submit a feature request to enable this auto refresh option on PP.

Well, if your report is on PBI service you can set to auto refresh schedule and insert a dynamic text box to show the Symentec Model refresh data (not the report refresh date). See this vid for reference.

How do you get a REFRESH DATE in your Power BI report??? (youtube.com)

I have no issues with setting up refresh date timestamp. The challenge that I have is inside powerpoint. Which it seems I always need to hit refresh to get the latest data. My goal is to make it live, as soon my source table updated in the database ( not sure if there is another way) the report showing in the TV Screen gets updated too.  Thanks for the info though. I love GIAC, been watching their youtube channel since day one.  When it was still Adam.

@amustafa - I tried doing it the only problem was the data needs to be refresh manually inside PowerPoint like the option below "Refresh". So If you have a card, text or button somewhere in the page that show the last refresh. The datetime doesn't changed. Kinda weird considering I am using direct query.

Have you looked into Power BI + Power Point option? Many youtube videos on this topic to get you going.
