I know that we can now click on the menu of a visual and choose to export data. But what about exporting a screenshot of the visual to clipboard?

I suggest adding the option "copy visual to clipboard" right next to the option to export data from the visual. Here is a screenshot of what I mean: http://postimg.org/image/b2vkq15q9/

Also, perhaps allow users to copy the visual to clipboard by hitting CTRL-C?

My users are in dire need of this functionality because they often copy and paste charts into Word documents and PowerPoint presentations, and not all of them are savvy enough with MS Paint and screenshot capture tools (e.g. Snagit, snip tool, etc).

RE: copy screenshot of visual to clipboard

Please make it available in 'publish to web' mode. End users still can NOT copy images of visuals to clipboard.

Please consider simple buttons to copy visuals as well as print screen and print report (in high res) in powerbi published web view.

The MS Document says it is supported in Power BI Desktop also. It is not.

RE: copy screenshot of visual to clipboard

This is a good idea but the implementation could be improved

Color format does not stick
Borders does not stick

As of now, I'll continue using the snipping tool to take a screenshot of the visual to email to my teams
