About Image Carousel
Power BI offers basic out-of-the-box image options that enable you to display images in a table, matrix, slicer, or multi-row card. However, when working with compact spaces or large image collections, these options may not be the right fit. To expand your capabilities, we created Image Carousel, which enables you to cycle through up to ten images. With the visual's auto-play option, you can effortlessly view new products, project progress, and more. Additionally, you can zoom into images by hovering over them.

- Auto-play with customizable intervals
- Play/pause and scroll arrows
