Power Embedded Gen 2 - can I embed a complete Power BI "app" in a website?

[tommy_g]

I have seen plenty of posts, blogs and videos which address embedding Power BI Reports. I am pretty sure I read that it is also possible to embed a complete "app", which includes Dashboards and navigation. I just cannot find anywhere this is demonstrated to work. For reference, you can now embed my app in Teams, no-code solution.

I've been told by developers this is not possible, but I don't believe them. 

I would appreciate any advice on where to look, I'm not sure if this is the correct forum.

Hi @tommy_g ,

Are you looking for this?

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/embedded/embed-sample-for-customers?tabs=net-cor... 

Or can you share some blogs or videos?

Best Regards,

Jay

Yes, it addresses my question reasonably well. If I understand it correctly, I can embed reports (easy) and  dashboards (maybe) or build these up via API calls. I need to read more deeply, back soon with clarifications.

Hi @tommy_g 

I don't think there is a way to embed the entire app in the Embed version.

I have an answer, thanks to all who guided me to it. I've seen Power BI embedded in probably hundreds of places, including my own websites. One can embed a simple URL and if authentication is not needed, it works just fine. Just a URL or iFrame easily obtained in the online service. This is not, however, Power BI Embedded which is a separate mid-code solution which runs on different pricing plans. See A and EM.

PowerApps portal is designed as a low-code extension to Dynamics. It is NOT intended to host other apps which require a complex or secured environment. The official answer is that you CANNOT run Power BI Embedded in a PowerApps Portal. It is unfortunate the client made a bad choice. Realistically there is no valid use-case for even trying.

I appreciate your attention to this. I am not going to mark it as a solution because I would like a second opinion from other forum members. 

Per my original post - "For reference, you can now embed my app in Teams, no-code solution."

Since this capability went live just after Embedded Gen 2 went GA, I think it is pretty obvious Microsoft is using the API to do exactly what I am looking for in another context. They could not do this if there was no API capability. They may not share it, they might be way ahead of the community, but I see it "live" in Teams.

So it CAN be done.
