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 .

Development is complete and is currently being tested & validated before release.

RE: Full Screen mode in Power BI Report Server

Alexandre, unfortunately the solution in that thread is only a workaround for this issue. Adding things manually at the end of the URL works if you are only sharing via using the link or embedding it on SharePoint.

We need Full Screen mode also when users are navigating in their reports inside PBIRS.

RE: Full Screen mode in Power BI Report Server

The header takes up way to much of the available window. What is the priority of this feature?

This is needed, you really can't use Power BI Report Server reports on laptop screens, everything is too small. The view controls do not really help. If you change your links to rs:embed then it works great on laptops, but is overkill on full size monitors.

?rs:Command=Render&rc:Toolbar=false seems to work too.

RE: Full Screen mode in Power BI Report Server

Anthony, thanks a lot for that! Was the workaround I found so far. I just want to add something:

If you enter Full Screen on the Browser (F11) and use the ?rs:embed=true that Anthony suggested then you're in total full screen.

Also if you don't want users to have to change links to get to full screen you can easily explain to them that they can use:
1.F11 for Full Screen
2.Zoom In Zoom Out without affecting the report layout, only the rest of the webpage until they get to the best view possible

RE: Full Screen mode in Power BI Report Server

Hello guys, if you right click in a Power BI report and go to 'View frame source', you will see that the URL in the frame starts with something like this 'http://srv-report/powerbi/?id=587bfcec-7d3a-4439-86c7-bbf956088fe3'
If you go directly to this URL, you will have the report in full screen.
