Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

Hi Community,

I’ve created a Copilot Studio (Power Virtual Agents) chatbot under a free environment, and want to embed this bot directly inside a Power BI report/dashboard so users can chat while viewing visuals.

Important to note — I’m working completely on FREE plans:

Power BI (Free workspace / trial)
Power Apps (created an environment that have Dataverse, even though I’m on free)
Copilot Studio (trial environment)

What I’ve already tried:

• Web Content tile in Dashboard – Option is greyed out in my free Power BI workspace
• Power Apps Visual in Power BI report – I built a classic Canvas App (Dataverse environment), but in Insert → Chat, I do not see the “Power Virtual Agents / Copilot” control, so I cannot insert my bot into the app.
• HTML web page workaround – I know embedding both iframes outside Power BI works, but I’m specifically trying to stay inside the Power BI experience.

Questions for the community:

Is there a supported way to embed a Copilot Studio chatbot directly inside a Power BI dashboard free environments?
Give me some workarounds to embed into the PowerBi(inline).

Publish & channel management

Unfortunately, in completely free Power BI workspaces, there’s no officially supported “inline” embed of a Copilot Studio (Power Virtual Agents) bot — the features that make it easy (like the Web Content tile in dashboards or certain premium visuals) are locked behind Pro/Premium licensing.

Suggested Workaround

Canvas App + Web Browser Control

This sidesteps the missing “PVA/Copilot” control in your Canvas App.

Publish your bot to the “Demo website” channel in Copilot Studio.
- Go to Settings → Channels → Demo website and copy the URL.
Create a simple Canvas App in your Dataverse environment.
- Insert a Web browser control (from the “Media” menu).
- Set its URL property to the bot’s Demo website URL.
Add the Canvas App to Power BI using the Power Apps visual.
- Drop the visual into your report, select your app, and it will render the bot inline.
