Twitter Timeline in Web Content Widget

In the February BI Service update I noticed that there is now a web content widget that allows for embedding rich media content.  In the official blog post about the service update they showed how to embed a single Twitter feed. I would like to be able to embed a Twitter timeline or feed as opposed to just the single tweet. 

 

I've tried going to Twitter and generating a new widget and using the embed code provdied from that widget, however; the twitter feed never appears.  The widget just shows "Tweets by x".  

 

I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong to embed a Twitter timeline or if it's just not supported yet?

Same problem. Same result.

It looks easy but just doesn't seem to work.

Would be one of those extra bits which gets a higher up interested...

I agree.  I've worked on other projects where we've embedded twitter timelines, and it invariably always gets a lot of attention.  I really wish we could get this to work as embedding a single (static) tweet to an otherwise autonomous, real-time dashboard just seems counter intuitive.  

 

Lets hope MS fixes this.

This is crutial to sell Power BI to senior management. They want yammer feeds embedded into Power Bi because they saw a demo of DOMO that blew them away.

C'mon Power BI team. You guys can do it !
