The news comes not from an official announcement from LG, Samsung, or Microsoft, but from an on-screen notification that appeared on Windows Central’s Zac Bowden’s webOS-powered LG TV earlier today. “Microsoft has recently decided to end support for Copilot functionality on all TVs, including the Copilot-enabled feature available on our LG TVs. As a result, the Copilot-enabled feature on your TV is no longer available and may stop functioning shortly,” the notification explains. It doesn’t specify exactly when Copilot will stop working on smart TVs, but says the feature is “scheduled for discontinuation during 2026” and a specific date is “subject to Microsoft’s timeline.”
Microsoft Copilot primarily served as a friendly AI-powered companion on Samsung and LG smart TVs that users could chat with, ask questions about what was currently on screen, or get recommendations for TV shows and movies. But earlier this year, Microsoft introduced a new Copilot “super app” that bundled multiple AI capabilities including chat, agents, and coding into a single interface as part of a push towards positioning Copilot more as a business and productivity tool, and less as a digital companion.
