Snapshot view greyed out in PowerPoint when embeding live data with Power BI add-in for PowerPoint
Hi Tina_mobi ,
You can only switch between Live Data and Snapshot in the PowerPoint desktop application - you can't do this in PowerPoint for the web.
Not all visualizations support the Snapshot view. If the selected visualization in your report does not support this feature, the option will be greyed out. Ensure that the visualization you're trying to capture as a snapshot is supported.

We are only trying in Power BI Desktop, not in the browser. I chose to embed a table visual from reports on three different workspaces. In all of them I have contributor rights. The snapshot option in PowerPoint can be activated in two of the three cases but not in all of them.
Is there a publicly available list for which viusal type the option is generally available?
