How does it work
UpSlide’s Power BI to PowerPoint feature is powered by a web browser, Chromium, which is embedded into UpSlide using a wrapper called Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF). Chromium is used within UpSlide to:
- display Power BI reports
- take screenshots of visuals or report pages
- display some user interface components to provide a smoother experience
Microsoft’s Power BI Desktop app also uses CEF for the same purpose. Chromium is only used to execute trusted content, which are either web assets embedded within UpSlide’s signed binaries or provided by Microsoft Power BI Embedded platform.
Important
UpSlide does not collect any of your data and therefore does not have access to it.
Important
UpSlide auto-update system will download and install the appropriate version on first use of the feature.
If auto-update is deactivated, you will need to ask for a new setup to use this feature.
In order to include CEF binaries in UpSlide’s setup package, we would need to know your PowerPoint’s version (either 32bit or 64bits).
