Power BI Report Server should have an option to open the report in Full Screen mode just as it has an option in Power BI Service . When we open reports in Power BI Report Server , we can view page in 3 options 1:) Fit to Width , 2:) Fit to Page and 3:) Actual size . Issue with these three mode is the page and header consumes a lot of space and we need to scroll to view to full report .

This is must have functionality. Only reason not using Power BI report server is due to un availability of full screen mode.

What kind of excellent user experience by asking users to add "?rs:embed=true" to urls and remember hitting F11!! No wonder users prefer Tableau!

This is already done, just add "?rs:embed=true" at the end of the url and it will remove the Report Server features. Then, if you are in Internet Explorer you can also use F11 to go truly full screen and not even see the browser. This is great for presentations.

RE: Full Screen mode in Power BI Report Server

As already mentioned in previous comments, Power BI reports get unreadable on smaller displays and the 4-layered menubar and plus the tabbar at the bottom just takes up too much space.
For a user adding the "?rs:embed=true" to the url is not an option. We need a button!

RE: Full Screen mode in Power BI Report Server

this is extremely important feature. current power bi header is taking 25% of the space and reports are not readable with fit to page. (with actual size scroll bar is coming). it is frustrating.

Hello! This would be very useful and easy to implement. Since this lack, I've created a bookmarklet that allows this: https://thetom88.github.io/Power-BI-fullscreen-bookmarklet/

RE: Full Screen mode in Power BI Report Server

Please provide this soon! To optimize our visuals for report server consumption and for presentations we oftentimes have to create the same report pages twice (Report Server has a page size of 1900 x 720 where presentations when we pull up in file are standard 16:9).

RE: Full Screen mode in Power BI Report Server

Almost year and a half since this has been backlogged and no update. This is very frustrating to our users that rather than just being able to navigate to the report and open it, they have to yet add another favorite to their long list just so they can do the append "?rs:embed=true" to the URL. The return on what seems like such a small update would be huge and would help with usability.
