Hello @sariga,

 

Embedding a Power App that plays the video is a more reliable method. Can you please try this approach:

 

1. Create a Power App:

  • Go to Power Apps and create a new canvas app (Insert a Media control >choose the Video)
  • Set the Video URL property to the SharePoint link of your video, then save and publish it

2. In Power BI Desktop:

  • Insert > Power Apps to add a Power Apps visual to your report.
  • Select Choose App to embed the Power App you created in Power Apps.
  • If you need to pass parameters from Power BI to Power Apps (like a specific video name), you can drag fields into the Power Apps data area

Hope this helps.
