Microsoft to Discontinue Copilot Support on Smart TVs in 2026
Microsoft plans to end support for its Copilot AI assistant functionality on smart TVs, including devices from major manufacturers like LG and Samsung. The news surfaced via an on-screen notification on LG's webOS platform rather than a formal press release, indicating that the feature is scheduled for discontinuation at some point during 2026. The shift follows Microsoft's strategic pivot toward repositioning Copilot as a business and productivity 'super app' focused on agents and coding, moving away from its role as a consumer-facing digital companion. This decision marks an end to the integration announced by LG and Samsung at CES 2025, which allowed users to interact with AI for content recommendations and screen-based queries.
