What is audio description in LG TV?

Audio description, also known as voice guidance/talkback/voice assistance/audio narration is a feature that provides verbal description of what is happening on the TV screen.

How to turn off the audio description on an old LG TV?

The methods outlined above may not work on an old model of LG TV. For some old versions of LG TVs, the voice guidance feature can be turned off in a different way. To turn off the audio description on an old LG TV you can follow these steps -

  2. Under that find the Audio/SAP/SUBT option and click on that.
  3. Under the Audio/SAP/SUBT option select DIGITAL and change it to PRIMARY LANGUAGE from SECONDARY LANGUAGE.

How do I get rid of the "Meet Your Google Assistant" message on my smart TV?

When turned on, some smart TVs including LG TVs display an unskippable prompt message i.e. "Meet your Google Assistant". As I said unskippable, you can't skip this prompt message and be left with no choice other than accepting and using the Google Assistant.

Getting that Google Assistant prompt every time you turn on your TV can be very annoying. A simple solution to this problem would be turning off the Google Assistant on your TV. Here's how you can turn off Google Assistant on your smart TV -

  1. Go to settings by pressing the Settings button with a gear icon on the remote.
  2. After that go to All settings > General > About this TV
  3. Under About this TV select User Agreements.
  4. Then uncheck the Privacy policy box and select AGREE to confirm your action.

After following the steps mentioned above, your TV will restart and Google Assistant will be disabled. You'll not get that annoying "Meet your Google Assistant" message anymore. Also, you'll not be able to use Google Assistant on your TV including any type of voice command relating to Google Assistant.
