Semi-static
💡Applicable only for Raspberry Pi
Enabling this option, the Raspberry Pi will take, in the background, a screenshot of the PowerBI report/dashboard every X minutes (based on the refresh rate). When the playback time of the App comes, it will display the screenshot. In the case of heavy dashboards, it is recommended to ensure that the data have been loaded and rendered before they are displayed.
Which URL do I need to paste?
Login to your Power Bi account, go to the Dashboard or the Report you like to display, and copy the link directly from the address bar. Paste that link to the aforementioned “Enter URL” field.
