Microsoft will stop offering Copilot on smart TVs from December 1, 2026. The decision affects LG and Samsung television models that carry the AI assistant, ending a short-lived push to bring conversational AI into the living room.
Once Microsoft switches off the service, users will not be able to open Copilot on their televisions. Features such as asking questions from the couch, seeking viewing suggestions, and using the assistant through the TV interface will disappear.
LG has already begun showing an on-screen notice to affected customers. The alert says Microsoft has decided to end support for Copilot on all televisions, including LG models with the Copilot-enabled feature. It also warns that the function may stop working soon.
The company confirmed the withdrawal through an updated support page. It said Copilot will no longer be available on Samsung and LG TVs after the retirement date. Samsung had also integrated Copilot into selected 2025 television and smart-monitor products. Those users will face the same loss of access after December 1.
Microsoft introduced Copilot on LG and Samsung TVs after the companies announced the partnership at CES 2025. The move was part of a broader effort to place AI assistants across consumer devices.
The TV rollout, however, failed to win over many users. Reports say the assistant drew complaints after its launch, with some customers finding the AI feature intrusive rather than useful. Microsoft did not explain the decision in detail. But the withdrawal suggests the company now wants to focus Copilot on productivity-led use across PCs, phones, and workplace tools rather than casual TV-based interactions.
