Yoto OS Beta

You can enrol your Player into Yoto OS Beta in Yoto App by navigating to Player Settings → Yoto Beta Labs section. (You don't need Yoto App Beta)

When you join the Beta, please allow your Yoto player a few minutes online and idle, so it can update its firmware to the latest version.

Please bear in mind that Beta rollouts are gradual, so your Player may take an additional day or two to update.
