Copilot is leaving Samsung and LG TVs on December 1

The television was already hosting the film, the streaming subscriptions and that one remote nobody can identify. It briefly picked up another roommate: Copilot. That arrangement now has an end date.

Microsoft’s current support notice says Copilot will no longer be available on Samsung and LG TVs on December 1, 2026. Microsoft says the service remains accessible on the web, desktop and mobile.

The date is clear; the explanation is not

The notice does not explain why TV support is ending or display a publication date. Reports of the retirement appeared earlier this week; the useful detail for owners is the confirmed December deadline. This is not an announcement that those televisions themselves stop working.

There is some context. Samsung announced the integration in August 2025 for selected 2025 TVs, with access through Tizen’s home screen, Daily+ and Click to Search. LG’s October 2025 webOS announcement also promoted Copilot-assisted search.

One assistant is not the whole television

Here is the distinction that matters: Microsoft’s notice concerns Copilot. It does not announce the removal of every Samsung or LG feature with “AI” in its name. Those labels cover different services, which makes a sweeping “your TV is losing AI” headline less helpful than it sounds.

If Copilot is part of your sofa routine, plan to use a remaining supported platform. If it is merely a tile you have never opened, this is a smaller practical change. Neither situation calls for panic-shopping a replacement screen.

For perspective on the hardware underneath the menus, our recent TV measurement coverage looks at picture quality; the television desk follows ongoing changes.

The takeaway: put December 1 in the mental calendar if you use Copilot on TV. The roommate is moving out. The sofa can stay.
