Here is how we do it. Check out the RocketScreens Podcast - How to Connect Your Power BI reports to a television - Youtube video for a quick demo - https://youtu.be/lKXecKepMUc
I work for a management consulting company that has built reports on many software platforms over the past 20 years. We saw the problem, (gorgeous or important information that is hard to present on screens- ugh). Could we get these reports and dashboards to TV's (as part of a playlist) for our clients. We thought it is so hard to get this info to staff in the offices and even hybrid once you have built them. Management wants their employees to be on the same page.
So we used the covid days to build out a commercial solution to it. Right now, we can connect to over 100 different SaaS solutions, including Power BI. We have two other connectors depending on the level of security you require.
1. You grab an Amazon Firestick or Google Chromecast TV hardware stick; either is under $40. Our application is in their collective app stores;
2. Go to the RocketScreens CMS app and create a trial account, Power BI Reports and Dashboards on Any Digital Screen.
2a. If you don't have a hardware stick, you can create a virtual link to put in a browser or a Microsoft Team's room. And we have built software links to download to both a PC or Mac if you are plugging a computer into the TV. ( using a bad idea, but it still is common).
3. Upload your image, video, pdf, etc., content, plus connect to the 100 plus apps like Microsoft Power BI. We log in securely, take screenshots every few minutes, and upload them to the TV. Some other connectors create an authentic live link for real-time reports.
4. Create custom playlists as channels and even schedule what you want to display.
5. To marry the playlist to the device, go inside the CMS app and enter the QR code or 5-digit code on the device ( TV), name it, and pick the right channel. It plays within seconds.
