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.

This is now available in the Windows Power BI app! Check out the details here: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/enhancing-presentation-mode-with-slideshow-in-windows-power-bi-app/

I created an extension in Chrome to make this. It's very simple usage.

RE: Slideshow in Full Screen/TV mode

Found a workaround for losing the right filter bar, bottom carousel bar and make background black for fullscreen reports. Use Stylish custom CSS extension for chrome, and use the following code to define a new style:

#pvExplorationHost > article
{
display: none;
}


#pvExplorationHost > div > exploration-footer > div
{
display: none;
}


#pvExplorationHost > div > div > div
{
bottom: 0;
padding: 0;
background-color: #000000;
}

Is this moving forward, or did it stop in February?

This should be great options now we need to make power point presentation for this. This option save lot of time.

YES
Better yet, make it fully configurable like a PowerPoint slide deck -- or just embed live tiles in PowerPoint, and make sure that you can set PowerPoint Animations, timing, and looping.

PowerPoint already does this. Just give us PowerBI in it.

We had a workaround until last week -- each visualization came in as a graphic that you could animate. Now that was taken away, and it's no better than screenshots of the whole report as slides.

We need to be able to automate presentations of reports in PowerBI. Don't force everything to require manual interaction. We should be able to automate through a series of filters and from page to page of a report.

RE: Slideshow in Full Screen/TV mode

This would be super useful. We want to use this as a replacement for a Klipfolio dashboard displayed on a big screen, and without the auto-scrolling it just doesn't cut the mustard.
Second comments about more flexible refresh times too.

RE: Slideshow in Full Screen/TV mode

I agree, but it should be coupled with the ability to refresh the data on an short interval like minutes from the Client. Search related ideas using "Auto refresh data every few minutes within the Power BI Client"

RE: Slideshow in Full Screen/TV mode

A slideshow that cycles through the bookmarks would be an excellent addition. I use the powerBI report server so I'd like to see it implemented here as well as the service.
