Hi @Atinder ,

Now Power BI does not support to auto refresh Power BI data in Power Point. 

• Last update from source: Shows the time and date of the last data update from the data sources.
• Refresh: Refreshes the report page with the latest data from the Power BI service. Note: Refresh does not trigger getting data from the data sources.

More details : View and present live Power BI report pages in PowerPoint - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

Hey @Atinder ,

this is not possible.

Instead to install the Power BI App on the TV, the app has feature that allows you refresh periodically and sample through your report pages.: View presentation mode on Surface Hub and Windows - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

Hopefully, this provides what you are looking for.

Regards,

Tom

Hello @TomMartens 

This is exactly what I did but now MS announced to retire it:

Any idea how to display live data on screens?

Kind regards, Jonas
