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.

Hi What is the replacement for presentation mode since the windows app will be retired this year?

Another user and I created a Google Chrome extension to programatically REFRESH and cycle through the tabs on a Power BI Report using Google Chrome.

Check out my GitHub Repository: https://github.com/DMiradakis/Power-BI-Real-Time-Slideshow

Why not a Slideshow at Embed Frame mode?
You just need to a Play Button and Timer on the Bottom Tab. It's play all Tabs Sections of Report.

We can develop a full screen web page and put a web application like Php for example.

"complete"? I dont think so. For this to really be complete it needs to support more than one report and handle at least reloading the page to update what it's scrolling through!

I've had to hack together a script to open multiple reports, tab through them and then refresh each report. A proper, kioskable solution would be really nice MS :)

Not completed!

This idea wasn't just for the PBI mobile app, it applied to the PBI service and PBI desktop as well. I'm dissapointed that I can't use this feature, been looking forward to it. I object.

RE: Slideshow in Full Screen/TV mode

Is this available only in the app, or is support included for PowerBI Report Server PBI reports when viewed in a web browser?

This is the best news all day. It is only 08:24, but I doubt anything is going to beat it.

RE: Slideshow in Full Screen/TV mode

Why only in Power BI app? What about the service or what to do if Win7 is still in use?

RE: Slideshow in Full Screen/TV mode

Any news on this? We'd like to show 2 dashboards and carousel between them every x seconds.

Need it. We want to scroll through slides and power bi dashboard. However I can put slide to gif and embedded in powerbi but I could not get it to scroll different tab or different report. We are displaying it as company dashboard.
