Why don't graphics show up?

I'm trying to build a graphic visualization but the file doesn't show up. Why? 

I tried to link to my image in onedrive. I tried shortened and long URLs. Also, are animated images supported?

Can you provide a litte more information on the process you went through to put the image on the report/dashboard? Is this a file that you started with in Power BI Desktop and the uploaded to the service? Are you referring to a linked image in the data or is it a background image? I can't recreate it without knowing what you were trying to accomplish and how you were trying to accomplish it.

Hey Residentx,

 

Try to give the direct URL to the image: https://rn52qa.bn1304.livefilestore.com/y3mxC4YeeDB8pHMCdeE4IK5vNzs52ahRnmlfm4AMjXHHWCvwBWd_yGYGO_n9...

 

You entered an URL to the place where the image is, but not the image itself. This will probably fix your problem.

 

Greetings
