Microsoft ends Copilot support on LG and Samsung smart TVs in 2026
Microsoft will stop supporting its Copilot AI assistant on LG and Samsung smart TVs during 2026, according to a notification seen on a webOS-powered LG TV. The feature, introduced in 2025, allowed users to chat with AI, ask questions about screen content, or get media recommendations. The move follows Microsoft’s shift to position Copilot as a business tool rather than a consumer companion.
Key points
- Microsoft will discontinue Copilot support on LG and Samsung smart TVs during 2026, per an on-screen notification
- Feature allowed AI chat, screen queries, and media recommendations but was removed from consumer focus in 2026
- LG previously faced criticism for an unremovable Copilot shortcut added via a December 2025 webOS update
LG faced user backlash last December after an update added an unremovable Copilot shortcut to its TVs. Microsoft did not confirm the discontinuation date but noted it would depend on its internal timeline. The notification did not specify whether existing data or settings would be preserved after the feature’s removal.
