Microsoft is reportedly ending Copilot support on smart TVs in 2026
🎧 Listen to this story
A notification shown on an LG TV says Microsoft has decided to end Copilot support on all televisions during 2026. The message, revealed by Windows Central and reported by The Verge, says the feature is no longer available and may stop working shortly, but does not provide an exact date. It was not an official announcement from Microsoft, LG, or Samsung; the schedule depends on Microsoft’s timeline.
Copilot let users chat with the AI, ask questions about what was on screen, and receive movie and TV recommendations. Tecnoblog tested the feature on an LG TV in Brazil and confirmed that the integration was ending on models available in the country. The outlet also linked the decision to Microsoft’s shift toward positioning Copilot as a productivity tool; the integration no longer appears on Samsung’s Tizen systems.
Why it matters · editorial interpretation
The withdrawal could reduce the role of AI assistants integrated directly into the TV-watching experience, while Tecnoblog links the decision to Copilot’s shift toward being positioned as a productivity tool. Because the notification was not an official announcement, the timeline still depends on Microsoft.
