Video — Tips & Support
Video lets you embed videos (YouTube, Vimeo, Stream, or MP4) in your reports with controls for autoplay, loop, mute, and more. Use the tips below to ensure a great playback experience.
Tips and Tricks
Prefer HTTPS and trusted sources
Use trusted MP4 endpoints for reliable playback. You should consider using a CDN backed by cloud storage such as Azure Blob Storage or Amazon S3.
Tune playback
Set autoplay, loop, mute, and controls based on your scenario. Consider starting muted when autoplaying.
Aspect ratio and poster
Choose a consistent aspect ratio (16:9 is common) and set a poster image for a clean initial state.
Network and performance
Large videos consume bandwidth. Test performance in the Power BI Service, especially in shared capacity.
Accessibility
Provide captions or transcripts where possible and ensure controls are visible with sufficient contrast.
Need certification or export?
If you need a certified visual or export to PDF/PPT, use Video Pro and follow embedding guidance.
