Controlling your playerUpdated a month ago
Find out what the different player controls do
The player controls behave differently depending on whether a card is inserted or not, and also sometimes if the orientation of the player changes (Yoto Player only)
With no card inserted
Left-hand orange button (Yoto Player and Yoto Mini)
- Turn clockwise - increases volume
- Turn anti-clockwise - decreases volume
Right-hand orange button (Yoto Player and Yoto Mini)
- Press the button once to play Yoto Daily (if you are online).
- Press it once again to play Yoto Radio (if you are online). To return to the clock display, press the button one last time.
Right-hand orange button (Yoto Player only)
- Turn clockwise when in nightlight mode to increase the brightness of the nightlight (or turn on if previously turned down to zero)
- Turn anti-clockwise when in nightlight mode to decrease the brightness of the nightlight (down to zero)
Power button (bottom right-hand side of the Yoto Player / right side of Yoto Mini)
- Press and hold for 3 seconds - turns the player on or off
- Press and hold for 10 seconds - performs a hard reset and restart of the player - use this if the player freezes or is behaving strangely. Don't worry, doing this won't delete Wi-Fi details or any content
Top Tips: you can customize what your right-hand button do in day and night mode from the Yoto app. Visit your player settings in the app.
