I'm using Power BI and some other O365 services (e-mail, yammer etc.). A few days ago suddenly all my Yammer groups appeared as workspaces in Power BI menu. It's very annoying, I need only one or two workspaces for sharing my PBI reports. Searching for them in the long list is time consuming.

There should be a simple way to switch between only those workspaces, which one needs for Power BI report publishing.

I don't see how this will be functional in a real environment where people will be part of dozens and perhaps even hundreds of groups. We end up with all these blank workspaces that are empty, cluttering up PowerBI for no reason and now users can't find what they need within PowerBI. Please fix this

Any change on this?
Today I've noticed my rarely uses teams in Ms teams are automatically hidden. When will this be deployed in Power Bi?

We are seeing the same and it is flooding our business users with SharePoint pages that have nothing to do with our Power BI deployment. Strongly suggest that you consider allowing context specific settings that allow us to gate information as appropriate to our user communities. We should be able to customize user displays so that only Power Bi Workspaces are visible.

Would also be okay with at least a favorites list...this is ridiculous. (Or hide/group any workspaces with no reports)

Dear god I would love to just have a favourites list in my workspace area, between teams, app workspaces, everything else, it's a swamp

This becomes even more important as a broader use of the Office 365 suĂ­te keeps increasing. More and more groups are created for other purposes, but the Power BI workspaces list keeps growing with no neeed.

Please can we can an update / roadmap for this request. Like the other commentors - my PBI is now completely polluted with irrelevant workspaces. Many Thanks!

RE: Hide non-Power BI workspaces from left menu

Agreed!!! You should be able to hide workspaces that are not PowerBI related. It is extremely annoying and you can easily delete or leave groups you didn't intend to by trying to 'clean up' your view. Even in Teams you can 'favorite' some and the rest can be hidden under 'More'. If you need the others or want to elevate a workspace you can. I have 19 workspaces listed and only 3 are used with PowerBI. Others are attached to Yammer groups, Teams, etc. Please resolved ASAP. PS I do like that you can create workspaces in P-BI that don't create groups - such a relief. Thanks for that.
