Using the PowerBI App

OnSign TV can present PowerBI dashboards and reports directly on your signage screens. Better yet, access to the PowerBI platform is directly authenticated through your Microsoft account, so your password is not stored on OnSign TV. 

This App is NOT compatible with:

  • Samsung SoC – SSSP2, 3, 4, 5, and 6,
  • LG webOS 3 and 4,
  • BrightSign LS3 and below; BrightSign XD4 and below.

Players with an older WebView before version 97 can only show a dashboard if the “Render Dashboard Remotely” option is enabled in the Advanced App settings.

 

Follow these steps to configure and present PowerBI content:

1. Authenticate OnSign TV on your Microsoft Account:

  1. In your OnSign TV account, go to Settings > Integration Accounts.
  2. Click the orange button "+ Add Account" on the top-right.
  3. Select Add Microsoft Account.
  4. Authorize OnSign TV to access your Microsoft PowerBI Account.
