Microsoft to discontinue Copilot support on smart TVs

Microsoft is withdrawing its Copilot AI assistant from the smart TV market. The decision affects all television sets that integrated the service following its high-profile announcement at CES 2025.

The discontinuation was communicated to users through on-screen notifications rather than a formal press statement. These notifications confirm that Microsoft has elected to cease all TV-based Copilot functionality throughout the remainder of the year.

The feature was originally marketed as a way to bring generative AI directly to living room displays through partnerships with manufacturers like LG and Samsung. The withdrawal highlights the technical and strategic hurdles involved in integrating cloud-based AI assistants into proprietary TV operating systems.
