Microsoft is abandoning development of the Copilot assistant for Smart TVs. The feature that appeared on LG and Samsung devices in 2025 will be switched off on 1 December 2026. It's a rather surprising turn, given how strongly manufacturers are currently promoting artificial intelligence in TVs.
Copilot disappears from LG and Samsung TVs
Copilot was meant to let users chat with AI, ask questions and get recommendations for movies and TV shows. Microsoft announced integration with TVs at CES 2025, but the feature did not gain much traction.
As reported by FlatpanelsHD, the assistant’s functionality on TVs was quite limited. There was also controversy over adding a Copilot shortcut to LG TVs without a way to remove it. The manufacturer eventually allowed users to remove the icon.
Now Microsoft has officially confirmed the end of support. From 1 December Copilot will no longer be available on LG and Samsung TVs, although it will continue to work on computers, smartphones and web browsers.
The decision does not, however, mean the end of AI on TVs. LG is still developing its own solutions and integration with Google Gemini, while Samsung offers, among others, Bixby and Perplexity.
Microsoft did not disclose an official reason for discontinuing the feature.
