Power BI — App Setup

The Power BI app displays a screenshot from your Power BI integration full-screen on your Q-Play display. It fetches the latest screenshot from the integration automatically at a cadence you choose.

To use this app, you must have the Power BI integration set up first. Click here to learn how to set up the Power BI integration.

Step 1 — Add the Power BI app to your presentation

In the presentation editor, open the Apps panel on the left and search for Power BI. Click the app to add it to your slide.

Step 2 — Configure the app

With the app selected on your slide, the settings panel appears on the right.

Under General:

• Template — leave this as Screenshot.

Under Data sources:

• Power BI — select the Power BI integration you want to fetch content from.
• Screenshot — select which screenshot job to use.

Under Template settings:

• Image fit — choose how the screenshot is fitted to the screen.
  • Fit — the full image is shown, with empty space on the sides if the aspect ratio differs from your screen.
  • Fill — the image fills the screen, cropping the edges if needed.
  • Stretch — the image is stretched to fill the screen, which may distort the content.

Under App Settings:

• Refresh every — choose how often the app fetches the latest screenshot from the integration. This is independent of the screenshot job's own refresh schedule in the integration.

Step 3 — Publish your presentation

Once the app is configured, click Publish in the top right to push the presentation to your screens.
