Embed PowerBI visual in a PowerPoint: Works on PowerPoint Desktop app but not online

I can successfully embed PowerBi visuals into PowerPoint slides by the "export to powerpoint->embed live data " option. 

 

These visuals even refresh automatically on the PowerPoint Desktop App. However, when I try opening the same slides online (on chrome/edge), I get the below error asking me for the report link to be embedded. Are there specific settings needed for the visuals to show up every time we open the file in any browser?

Hi @madrush 

You mentioned embed PowerBi visuals into PowerPoint slides by the "export to powerpoint->embed live data" option, where did you do that ? Can you explain with a screenshot ? I currently don't have a way to test the scenario you're talking about .

Hey, 

 

Go to any report you want to export. Click on "Export" from the task bar ->"Powerpoint" ->"Embed live data"

Voila, it opens the ppt in the desktop version with the report page! 

But when I try to open the same ppt in a browser (chrome/edge), it shows the error pasted above

 

Hope this helps!

I have the same issue...everything works in Powerpoint desktop including presentation mode.

Also, everything seems to work ok in Powerpoint online edit mode, including all filters / slicing etc. but when I switch to presentation mode I get the rotating 'loading...' icon or just a blank screen.
