Microsoft is ending Copilot support on smart TVs

Nearly two years after LG and Samsung announced at CES 2025 that their smart TVs would include Microsoft Copilot, Microsoft is ending support for the AI assistant on all TVs in 2026, according to Windows Central. The news surfaced via an on-screen notification on an LG TV, which stated that Microsoft decided to end Copilot functionality on all TVs and that the feature is scheduled for discontinuation during 2026, with the exact date subject to Microsoft's timeline. Copilot had served as an AI companion for chatting and getting show recommendations. Last December, LG faced backlash for adding an unremovable Copilot shortcut to webOS, later allowing deletion. Earlier this year, Microsoft repositioned Copilot as a business and productivity tool with a new super app.
