## Key points

- Copilot support on all TVs is due to end in 2026.
- Microsoft has not given a specific discontinuation date.
- The TV assistant offered screen questions and viewing recommendations.

## Summary

Microsoft is ending Copilot support on all smart TVs during 2026, less than two years after LG and Samsung announced the assistant for their televisions. The change marks a retreat from presenting Copilot as an on-screen companion, as Microsoft shifts towards business and productivity uses.

The timing is not yet set: a notification on an LG webOS TV says discontinuation is subject to Microsoft’s schedule. On LG and Samsung sets, Copilot let viewers ask about what was on screen and get film and programme recommendations. LG had previously faced criticism for adding an undeletable Copilot shortcut, later making it removable.
