How do I publish Power BI report to web for free?

Build in Desktop, publish to service, File > Embed > Publish to web. Grab iframe code. Done—but it's public.

Is Power BI iFrame embedding secure?

Nope. Anyone with link views data. No logins. Use paid embeds for safety.

Simplest way to slap interactive viz on any site. No auth hassles. But test responsiveness.
