Microsoft Ends Copilot on Smart TVs in 2026 as AI Shifts Toward Productivity

Summary
An on-screen LG notification said Microsoft has ended Copilot support for all TVs, with the feature no longer available on some sets and full discontinuation scheduled during 2026.
Microsoft has not publicly detailed the move, but the cutoff fits its broader repositioning of Copilot from a consumer companion into a business and productivity product.
On LG and Samsung TVs, Copilot had offered chat, on-screen questions and show recommendations after the companies unveiled the integration at CES 2025.
LG already faced user backlash in December 2025 after a webOS update added an unremovable Copilot shortcut, later reversing course and allowing owners to delete it.
