Can you help me embed Google Data Studio?
Not yet, there are a few workarounds, below is a graceful UX experience that will drive people to Data Studio.
As mentioned in the video. Google Data Studio will more than likely be extremely easy to embed – similar to Google Ngram Viewer.
Google generally is very smart about how they build their backend, and often times things are extremely similar if not the same from the start.
This isn’t going to keep you from getting bad information in the Forums – be sure to vet who’s speaking and know anyone can pretend to be anyone on the internet.
Dashboard going slow? Try optimizing the images.
Can I redirect instead of Embedding Google Data Studio?
Yes, you can, regrettably, when the topic is clearly embedding, telling others to redirect will make you sound silly.
Some mention a redirect being viable – this is true if you know how to manage a redirect, and considering most people don’t know how to build redirects and are interested in the words in the title of the forum posts, ’embed google data studio.’

Here’s a quote from the Google Community form by a Google employee 6/2/17. The Google Data Studio team comment is posted below, and it is a comment on the current discussion of embedding! Also, we now have a chance to be invited to the closed beta testing!
From a Google Employee!
Hi all [Google Employee – Google Data Studio Engineer],
— thanks for all the feedback on embedding!
An update from the Data Studio team: we are actively working on enabling the first of many use cases for embeddable reports. We’ll start by making it possible to embed a public report (shared via Google Drive as “On – Public on the web” or “On – Anyone with the link”) in public pages such as blog posts or other pages that don’t require authentication.
Is this a use case that you’re interested in? Please send an email to data-studio-help@google.com and refer to this thread. We’d love to whitelist some users for this upcoming feature!
We’ll work on more complex embedding after launching this first phase, so stay tuned on that. Thanks all!
Need to Embed Google Data Studio Right Now?
Well, that’s not native just yet, it’s down the road a bit further.
- Below is a user workflow that can simulate the exact thing.
- Anything is possible if you are comfortable speaking with your customer.
- Changing the requirements to ensure you can release your dashboards – is as easy as agreeing to Agile terms before you take the engagement 🙂
Embedding Google Data Studio is going to be a pivotal
When we finally can embed Google data studio, it’s going to be a crucial piece for those web designers and customers who do not want to click one time.
It works wonders for our business intelligence clients.
Embed Google Data Studio with a Screenshot or Link
- Google Data Studio is fast, in beta (yes it’s still in beta), and free. Below is an explanation of how you can embed Google data studio.
- Embedding Google Data Studio means you’re able to share your dashboard or report with your clients, fans, or customers.
- If you have experience with Tableau Server or you’re a Tableau Consultant, then you will thoroughly understand the following information.
- Google bundled sharing functionality into the front end product at no additional charge.
Embed Google Data Studio Update
Before 6/19/17 – Google is actively changing the UI, and I believe there will be more updates regarding this feature, it’s the number one important piece of the puzzle to be enterprise ready, but do not get your hopes up on this piece being available anytime soon.
Google, as a company, has their hands in many revolutionary products coming soon! I for one am very excited to see this product revolutionize the data industry and change the pricing structure of all business intelligence products.
We can’t cleanly embed Google data studio yet.
Google Data Studio is new, and this feature is not currently available, but if I know, one thing about business intelligence consulting. Also, in business intelligence consulting, sometimes you need to work around product limitations.
Currently, there are no natural means of embedding Google Studio reports or your Google Studio dashboards, on your website. Dev3lop’s blog is a workaround that will work for you today.
Did you know that Google data studio is
- the first viable free business intelligence offering with ETL
- with sharing capabilities, it’s fun and easy to use
- incredibly intuitive
The Future for Google Data Studio and Business Intelligence.
This will be eventually fulfilled and be a massive impact to the entire business intelligence market.
Consider an application that merely requires an account, a web browser, and internet connection. This means any and all current business intelligence platforms or software are now on the chopping block.
Google Data Studio is a free ETL product, a free reporting product, and soon it will have more embedding capabilities.
Outside of you sharing this link with some friend on accident because you were going to paste this. It would not be very challenging to train people how to use this in a secure fashion. For example;
Data security measures for Google Data Studio.
These steps may make any sys admin angry. This is merely for the people who want this to fly right now, and don’t have strict data governance policy.
- Use a VPN requirement
- Log in to a VM
- Offer the end user access to a landing page that fires off links and is hosted locally using simple HTML buttons
- Clicking this landing page takes them to the Google Data Studio dashboards
Or train everyone not to share the Google data studio link!
Best practice would always be more training! Express to end users that sharing the link could leak their data online. For now it’s beta, tread lightly.
Google Data studio security – a simple precautionary tale.
If security is a concern, meaning you don’t want anyone to have view access to your dashboard, use a password in front of this step. Just know anyone can see anything that is public on your website, and if your users are sharing the link, this will not be a viable solution – if security of your data is important.
If it’s not important – link the text using html.
Embed google data studio blog updates
This blog will keep up with the latest updates and patches released by google, feel free to comment how you used this workaround, and any updates. I will call out your website and name in the edit. Share the knowledge + Link juice!
If you have any questions or concerns regarding Google Studio, we offer simple, affordable, onshore, hourly services. Buy a bucket of hours, and get your business intelligence built in Google Studio, or migrated to Google Studio. We are actively working several Google Studio engagements, and everyone loves it!
We will update this as Google releases this in their finalized product! Feel free to comment if we miss the update or something advanced beyond this.
Since Google Data Studio reports can have returned tables with multiple rows of content that is scrollable inside of the platform – I’m assuming that the screenshot method you describe here won’t be scrollable?
So, I’d need to adjust the view height inside of the Data Studio Report prior to creating the screenshot?
Thanks for this guide.
You’re welcome, happy to help. We are getting a kick out of Google data studio too!
For embed google data studio on the web – If you’re looking to screen shot your dashboard and automate this as the embedded image, I’d suggest using a small high-level KPI version of the dashboard.
We lean on ‘keyboard maestro’ – a Mac version of AHK (auto hot key), which both can handle this automated screen grab!
So, we prefer Keyboard Maestro – for this assistance when embedding google data studio!
A high-level KPI may be the ticket if you have a scroll bar! This gives your users something tangible to click on VS the main dashboard image.
Internally we use the most top left visualization in Google Data Studio as the ‘click to button’ and treat it like a book. The most valuable content goes on the top left, and in our case, we screen capture that with Keyboard Maestro.
Although the blog suggests that direction, of snapping the main page, we sorta left that in the air!
We do feel you’d be in great hands with a beautiful blimp view – that calls to action the next click, calling for ‘deeper analysis.’ Similar to any good landing page, without a good call to action, people will click elsewhere or bounce!
Thanks for the comment, let us know how you ended up accomplishing it!

Hello.. Congratulations on the excellent information you give us.
Unfortunately, the issue of security is a reason for us not to migrate from powerBI to data studio, since there is an authentication by JWT to be able to access a report.
Because if someone can get the URL in powerBI cannot access, already in data studio this is possible.
I send people to this post instead of teaching it. You Tableau nerds rock. Can’t wait to see more Google Data Studio content.
Merry xmas! Thanks for making this and keeping the solution alive.
