Embedding

Embedding refers to the distribution of Power BI content outside of the Power BI service and mobile applications such as SharePoint Online, Microsoft Teams, custom applications, and the public internet. In this section, we will cover the separate licensing considerations for embedding as well as four embedding scenarios:

  • Publish to web
  • Secure URL embedding
  • Microsoft 365 apps
  • Custom applications

In addition to the embedding options covered in this section, it is worth noting that other Microsoft applications also include the ability to embed Power BI content, including Dynamics 365 and Power Apps. Many of these additional embedding scenarios are covered in Chapter 13 of Microsoft Power BI Cookbook, Second Edition.

Before diving into the four embedding scenarios, it is first important to understand how Power BI content embedding is licensed.
