After only two years, Microsoft removes Copilot from all smart TVs

In early 2025, Microsoft announced plans to integrate its Copilot assistant into smart TVs, as part of its strategy to rapidly establish a presence in major tech markets. However, the rollout has not been successful, leading Microsoft to now scale back its Copilot initiative and refocus on enhancing product quality.

A recent message displayed on LG smart TVs has confirmed that the company will be discontinuing Copilot functionality across all its smart TV models, including LG. Windows Central's Za Bowden noticed the message while using his LG TV, which warned him that Copilot support would soon be discontinued. The message states, "We would like to inform you that 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."

Microsoft's statement implies that Copilot support will be withdrawn from all smart TV manufacturers that adopted the feature, indicating a company-wide decision. While the exact date of Copilot's discontinuation has not been specified, the message suggests that the support will end sometime in 2026. This leaves users with only a few months of functionality before it is permanently removed. Despite the news, it seems unlikely that the change will be met with much fanfare.
