It enables users to connect to various data sources, transform and model data, and create interactive and visually appealing reports and dashboards. With our PowerBI plugin, you can integrate reports into your digital signage content.

You can find the PowerBI plugin in our editor under the “APPs” submenu. Once you’ve added it to a slide, click Authenticate, pick a user, and accept permission for Play Digital Signage to access your PowerBI data.

  • Alignment – Maximize, left, center, right, top, middle, right, and lock
  • Workspace – Choose which workspace the report is in.
  • Resource – You can select a report or a dashboard to show that is in the workspace.
  • Refresh interval – periodically refresh the report.

I am only seeing PowerBI loader logo?

 PowerBI plugin uses APIs from Microsoft and they require relatively new browser version - at the time of writing at least Chrome 100. The plugin may not often load on devices that have the browser included in the firmware and thus not updated very frequently (such as Samsung Tizen, LG WebOS or BrightSign). You can reach out to the device vendor and ask if they have a firmware update that updates the embedded browser.

If you see this issue on an Android device, go to device settings (in web portal) and ensure that "Website rendering engine" is set to "Use system engine". Be sure to also update the Chrome browser that is installed on the Android device itself.

How long does the plugin remain authenticated?

Our plugin periodically refreshes the authentication session and extends it up to 90 days that is the maximum time possible in PowerBI API. If the plugin has not been shown in the last 90 days, you have to authenticate by adding the plugin again.

Why can’t I find my report or dashboard in the resource options?

In order to show a resource, it must be assigned to a workspace. Resources that are not in a workspace can’t be shown by our plugin.
