Smart TV Microphones: How to Disable Them

Smart TV Microphones: How to Disable Them

Smart TVs have microphones that listen to you, even when you aren't using them.

These mics let you talk to your TV, but they can also be a privacy risk.

To stop your TV from listening, you can either use a physical switch on the TV or go into the settings menu.

Look for options like 'Microphone,' 'Voice Assistant,' or 'Voice Recognition.'

Turning off the mic won't break all the smart features, and most remotes still have a button for voice commands when you need them.
