Microsoft Ends Copilot Support on Smart TVs

An on‑screen notification on LG webOS TVs has confirmed that Microsoft will stop providing Copilot functionality on all smart TVs this year. The message states the feature is scheduled for discontinuation during 2026, with the exact date dependent on Microsoft’s timeline.

Copilot was introduced on LG and Samsung sets at CES 2025 as a conversational companion that could answer questions about on‑screen content and suggest shows. Earlier in 2026 Microsoft repositioned Copilot as a productivity‑focused “super app,” bundling chat, agents, and coding tools for enterprise users.

Why it matters for GPU / AI infrastructure

The retreat from consumer‑facing TV integration signals a strategic shift toward high‑value, compute‑intensive workloads in the cloud. As vendors concentrate AI services on data‑center GPUs, demand for scalable GPU cloud capacity — such as that offered by aigpu — is likely to grow.

For buyers and engineers, the move underscores the importance of planning AI deployments on dedicated infrastructure rather than relying on embedded assistants that can be withdrawn without notice.
