Power BI Report Server should have an option to open the report in Full Screen mode just as it has an option in Power BI Service . When we open reports in Power BI Report Server , we can view page in 3 options 1:) Fit to Width , 2:) Fit to Page and 3:) Actual size . Issue with these three mode is the page and header consumes a lot of space and we need to scroll to view to full report .

RE: Full Screen mode in Power BI Report Server

Thanks for the workaround Raymond Boone. This is super helpful when it comes to presenting your reports on varying screens and conferences rooms, so that you do not have to scroll. It allows you to show how it is intended to be seen.

Dear Power BI Team, any News About this feature? Is still missing in the August 2018 release. It is important for futher acceptance of the reporting to have an easy way to switch between this modes.

Many thanks

RE: Full Screen mode in Power BI Report Server

adding ?rs:embed=true to the URL is a great workaround.

RE: Full Screen mode in Power BI Report Server

I did find that once you've opened the report on the server, you can add the following code to the end of the URL and you're good to go.

?rs:embed=true

RE: Full Screen mode in Power BI Report Server

Please, please add this. I've had so many requests from users since we stood up our Power BI report server. You lose so much screen real estate to the title bar, favorites bar, navigation bar and menu bar that the report gets really squished down. My users found a counter-intuitive trick that I hate sharing--zooming out makes the report bigger.

RE: Full Screen mode in Power BI Report Server

For such a small change, this would make a HUGE impact for end user experience.

RE: Full Screen mode in Power BI Report Server

Yes please - Full screen mode is a huge need. The View is wasted with 30%+ of useless Headers. Many Thanks

RE: Full Screen mode in Power BI Report Server

Please add this to Report Server. Consumers of reports get easily frustrated that they can't easily "click a button like we did in the other one" (Power BI Service). I have suggested some of the workarounds posted here, but consumers are typically not tech savvy which leads to more frustration on their part. Ultimately, this detracts from the AWESOMENESS of Power BI and the data being presented.
