The ‘Full Screen mode’ could become more useful for presenting reports on dedicated large screens if it became just a bit more dynamic. Whilst it is currently possible to scroll through report sheets by clicking the arrows in the bottom right corner, it would be most valuable to be able to automate such browsing. A solution could be to introduce a “Play” button that starts a slideshow scrolling through the available report sheets according to a customizable time interval.

RE: Slideshow in Full Screen/TV mode

I agree with all comments below. I would like to be able to show the report on TV (kiosk mode) without publishing it.

RE: Slideshow in Full Screen/TV mode

My organization is unable to share some of its data publicly. If I could just install the desktop client on the computer connected to the TV and press F5 (or something similar) to go full screen that would be perfect. In my opinion this is the most important feature Power BI is missing that is preventing us from using it agency-wide.

Please add this feature or similar one like save as power point show (.ppsx).

RE: Slideshow in Full Screen/TV mode

Currently the only viable solution is to make a bunch of PowerBI reports and then rotate between them. So this feature is a must.

RE: Slideshow in Full Screen/TV mode

Would be great to see this function as a kiosk mode as well. I have a scenario where I am representing data using Power BI but access to SharePoint is not possible. I could envision the kiosk mode rotating through several different pages of visuals or dashboards that have been created.

RE: Slideshow in Full Screen/TV mode

That is a great suggestion. I was able to get this to work in Firefox using the Tab Rotator extension, using PowerBI's ?chromeless=true parameter, and putting the browser in full screen mode.

What would be really cool is to be able to render as a screensaver. That way you wouldn't have to have a PC openly logged in at all times.

RE: Slideshow in Full Screen/TV mode

I believe this functionality might also be possible as a PowerPoint slideshow with the newer Power BI embed features?

Or better yet, a HTML5 intranet page that does the slideshow for you.

Would have to confirm that they live refresh however.
