Some known limitations:

  • Power BI doesn’t support the same localized languages that Microsoft Teams does. As a result, you might not see proper localization within the embedded report
  • Users without a Power BI license or permission to access the report see a “Content is not available” message
  • Chat in Teams might not work if your browser uses strict privacy settings
