Most smart TVs have Automatic Content Recognition that captures screenshots, records audio, and sells your viewing data to advertisers. The video shows how to disable ACR on Samsung, LG, and Roku by finding privacy settings in Smart Features, Live Plus, or Smart TV Experience.
Never, ever watch TV again before doing this one thing. Your smart TV is recording everything you say, and here's how to stop it. Most smart TVs have a feature called ACR Automatic Content Recognition. It takes a screenshot of your screen every few seconds and sends it back to the manufacturer. It listens through the microphone, tracks what you watch, and sells that data to advertisers. Here's the fix. Go to your TV settings, find privacy or viewing data, and turn off acr. On Samsung, it's under smart features. On LG, it's live plus. On Roku, it's smart. Smart TV experience takes 30 seconds. Do it tonight, save this for later, and send it to someone who doesn't know.
